The gripping tragicomedy of a bungled kidnapping in a provincial Argentinian town is considered one of Greene's finest. It tells of Charley Fortnum, the "Honorary Consul," a whisky-sodden figure of dubious authority taken by a group of revolutionaries. As Eduardo Plarr, a local doctor, negotiates with authorities and the revolutionaries for Fortnum's release, the corruption of both becomes evident. This spare, tense novel explores the morality of a political system that turns priests into killers.
