He has found it in Mr. Anderson of British  Intelligence. Bruno's African upbringing, and fluency in numerous  African languages, has made him a top interpreter in London, useful to  businesses, hospitals, diplomats--and spies. Working for Anderson in a  clandestine facility known as the \"Chat Room,\" Salvo (as he's known)  translates intercepted phone calls, bugged recordings, and snatched  voice mail messages.\u003cbr\u003eWhen Anderson sends him to a  mysterious island to interpret during a secret conference between  Central African warlords, Bruno thinks he is helping Britain bring peace  to a bloody corner of the world. But then he hears something he should  not have...\u003cbr\u003eBy turns thriller, love story, and comic  allegory of our times, \u003ci\u003eThe Mission Song\u003c\/i\u003e is a  crowning achievement, recounting an interpreter's heroically naive  journey out of the dark of Western hypocrisy and into the heart of  lightness.","brand":"Little, Brown and Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47107770450160,"sku":"9780759568075","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780759568075_p0.jpg?v=1763659719","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780759568075","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
