Resumen

Dr. Eduardo Plarr has lived in Argentina since he was a youth after he and his Paraguayan mother fled Paraguay when his British father was captured by the Paraguayan junta and held as a political prisoner, where he remains. Eduardo now has a medical practice in the northeastern Argentinean town of Corrientes, across the river from Paraguay as he continually awaits news of his father. In his general travels in Corrientes, he becomes acquainted with Colonel Perez of the Argentinean military police, and Charley Fortnum, the honorary British consul who has been assigned to this outpost as being generally of little use to the British government, Charley's issues including his alcoholism and his womanizing, he often frequenting Sra. Sanchez's whorehouse. Eduardo becomes Charley's personal physician, as well as that of Charley's new wife, Clara, who Eduardo is dismayed to see is the Indian prostitute at Sra. Sanchez's on whom he had his eye. Eduardo's relationships with Charley, Clara and Colonel Perez become more complicated when he reconnects with his Paraguayan guerrilla friends from his youth, who try to talk him into getting involved in a plot with them to kidnap the US Ambassador, who they hope they can trade for political prisoners, including Eduardo's father.—Huggo
