I enjoyed Missionary Stew by Ross Thomas, a popular thriller writer who died in 1995. Journalist, Morgan Citron is freed from an African prison after 13 months where prisoners were fed human flesh, thus the book's title. He goes to California and teams up with political mover and shaker, Draper Haere, when information comes to light about US government drug dealings with a Central American military dictator. There is an increasing body count as Citron and Haere gradually uncover the truth that no one wants exposed. The story is fast-paced with even a little humour and irony to break some of the serious moments along the way. Very entertaining. 4/5Tuesday, August 11, 2009
