Missionary stew

Missionary Stew follows political fundraiser Draper Haere on a quest to uncover the secret behind a right-wing coup in an unnamed Central american country. Haere seeks the information in order to get dirt on his boss's opponent in the 1984 US Presidential election. Haere's pursuit of the truth repeatedly puts Haere's life in danger, as the powers-that-be stop at nothing to keep the episode buried. Along the way, Haere carries on an affair with the wife of his candidate and enlists the aid of Morgan Citron, an almost-Pullitzer winning journalist who has recently been released from an African prison where the prisoners where fed human flesh--the titular missionary stew. Together Citron and Haere face up against cocaine traffickers, Latin American generals, corrupt US officials, and Citron's estranged, tabloid-publisher mother.

La búsqueda de la verdad pone en peligro la vida de Haere en diversas ocasiones, pues los poderes fácticos emplean todos los recursos a su alcance para mantener oculto el turbio episodio. Al propio tiempo, Haere mantiene una aventura con la esposa de su candidato y contrata como colaborador a Morgan Citron, periodista y escritor de viajes, finalista del premio Pulitzer, que estuvo trece meses en una cárcel africana donde alimentaban a los reclusos con carne humana, el desagradable guiso que da título a esta hilarante y magnífica novela."
