Abandoned by both his Irish father and Congolese mother, Bruno Salvador has long looked for someone to guide his life. 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, snatched voice mail messages. When 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.

In Geheime Melodie The Mission Song, ist er endgültig zum großen Anwalt des Humanitären geworden. Dabei bleibt er so ironisch, so witzig, wie man ihn kennt und entgeht so jeder Gefahr als naiver Gutmensch abgetan zu werden.« Deutschlandfunk, Büchermarkt »Ein unschöner, ein grandioser Roman.» (Jazz Zeit (A)) Dolmetscher Bruno Salvador wird vom Britischen Geheimdienst für eine inoffizielle Konferenz zum Thema Kongo engagiert. Die krisengeschüttelte und an Rohstoffen reiche Region ist Brunos Heimat. Bahnt sich in dem fernen Land eine Katastrophe an? Bruno sucht Verbündete, die mit ihm für eine demokratische Zukunft des Kongo streiten. Doch plötzlich wird er zum Gejagten, denn in seinem Besitz befinden sich wertvolle Dokumente. - John le Carré (* 19. Oktober 1931 in Poole, Dorset, Großbritannien; eigentlich David John Moore Cornwell) ist ein englischer Schriftsteller. Leben: John le Carrés Mutter Olive (Gassy) Cornwell verließ die Familie, als er fünf Jahre alt war. Sein Vater Richard Thomas Archibald (Ronnie) Cornwell (19061975), mehrfach wegen Betrugs und anderer hochstaplerischer Delikte verurteilt, übte zeitlebens großen Einfluss auf ihn aus; in seinem stark autobiografisch geprägten Roman A Perfect Spy (dt. Ein blendender Spion) verarbeitete er die Beziehung literarisch. Le Carré studierte Germanistik und Neue Sprachen an der Universität Bern und am Lincoln College Oxford, unterrichtete eine Weile am Eton College, arbeitete für das Außenministerium und war für den britischen Geheimdienst als Secret Service Agent tätig, bevor er Schriftsteller wurde. 1954 heiratete er Alison Ann Veronica Sharp, mit der er drei Söhne hat. Diese Ehe wurde 1971 geschieden. 1972 heiratete er die Lektorin Valérie Jane Eustace. Mit ihr hat er einen Sohn, der unter dem Namen Nick Harkaway publiziert. Thema seiner Romane war bis in die achtziger Jahre der Ost-West-Gegensatz und der Kalte Krieg. Sie zeichnen sich durch differenzierte psychologische Zeichnung der handelnden Figuren aus und sind akribisch recherchiert. Le Carré brach mit der herkömmlichen Schwarz-Weiß-Sichtweise. Der Westen greift im Kampf gegen den Kommunismus zu den Methoden des Ostens und verrät so die Ideale, für die er kämpft. Le Carré stellt in seinen Romanen wiederholt die Frage, ob der Zweck die Mittel heiligt und ob der Westen zu den Mitteln des Ostens greifen darf, um sich zu verteidigen, und trotzdem eine Gesellschaft bleibt, die es wert ist, verteidigt zu werden. Auch nach Ende des Kalten Krieges ist le Carré seiner Thematik treu geblieben: Männer, die sich für das Individuum und gegen die Institution entscheiden, sowie Kritik an der Politik des Westens. . . Für sein literarisches Schaffen wurde er von den Mystery Writers of America 1984 mit dem Grand Master Award und von der Vereinigung der englischen Krimi-Schriftsteller 1988 mit dem Diamond Dagger ausgezeichnet. 2005 vergab die britische Crime Writers' Association (CWA) anlässlich der 50. Verleihung einen speziellen Dagger of Daggers für den besten Kriminalroman der letzten 50 Jahre. Preisträger war John Le Carré mit seinem Roman The Spy Who Came In From The Cold (dt.: Der Spion, der aus der Kälte kam). . . . Aus wikipedia-John_le_Carr%C3%A9.
