The Honorary Consul William Collins Unfolding in the sea-bright

Unfolding in the sea-bright

and her radiance attracts more and more dark interest - their perfect existence starts to fracture

not seen for years

Sanctuary to some but nightmare to others

containing every race and creed

The Honorary Consul William Collins Unfolding in the sea-brightCharley Fortnum is the 'Honorary Consul', a whisky sodden figure of dubious authority taken by a group of rebels. As Eduardo Plarr, a local doctor, negotiates with revolutionaries and the authorities for Fortnum's release, the corruption of both becomes evident. In this spare, tense novel, Graham Greene explores the morality of a political system that turns priests into killers.
