Between the two great wars in the river town of Puerto Diablo, somewhere at the bottom of South America, a tall, menacing stranger arrives to threaten the villagers, the native tribe of fierce warriors, the local outlaw band, and Father Joseph Black, a powerful man of God known as the Black Priest. Like the stories of Hemingway and Peter Matthiessen, it is a tale of courage in the face of evil, of choices made and not made, and the ends they can lead to.
