In Tanzania, East Africa the most dangerous predator walks on two
legs. In a land where death is a constant, a serial killer is on
the loose. The authorities believe the Missionary Jadwin Ross to be
that beast. Even he is not sure if anyone is truly innocent - least
of all himself... Set in modern Africa, THE MISSIONARY AND THE
BRUTE is a literary novel that follows the twisted path of the
Missionary's recollections through the past three - or was it four?
- days as he nurses a concussion in a Tanzanian jail cell after
having been beaten by the guards who brought him in. Constantly
professing his innocence, memories return to Ross in
ever-clarifying flashes. Colobus monkey howls. A stalking hyena. A
machete stuck in a stump. He recalls with haunting disbelief a
stream of army ants dragging what appears to be a human ear across
a mountain trail and wonders what sort of beast would kill such as
this. He prays it is not him.
