But when he is summoned on a secret job for British Intelligence, he is told he will have to get his hands dirty. His mission is to help bring democracy to the Congo - democracy that will be delivered at the end of a gun barrel.<br><br><i>The Mission Song</i> is an excoriating depiction of a corrupt world where loyalty can be bought and war is simply an opportunity to settle old scores.<br><br>'Simply astonishing ... a formidably sophisticated work of fiction' Charles Cumming</p>
