Product Description
Bruno Salvador, known to friends and enemies alike as Salvo, is the ever innocent, twenty nine year old orphaned love child of a Catholic Irish missionary and a Congolese headman's daughter. Educated first at mission school in the East Congolese province of Kivu, and later at a discreet sanctuary for the secret sons of Rome, Salvo is inspired by his mentor Brother Michael to train as a professional interpreter in the minority African languages of which, almost from birth, he has been an obsessive collector. Soon a rising star in his profession, he is courted by City corporations, hospitals, law courts, the Immigration services and inevitably the mushrooming overworld of British Intelligence. He is also courted and won by the all white, Surrey born Penelope, star reporter on one of our great national newspapers, whom with typical impulsiveness he promptly marries. Yet even as the story opens, a contrary and irresistible love is dawning in him. Despatched to a no name island in the North Sea to attend a top secret meeting between Western financiers and East Congolese warlords, Salvo is obliged to interpret matters never intended for his re awoken African conscience.
