Fez, A City of towering mosques and narrow streets, the air redolent with spices and oranges and ringing with vendors' cries; this is one picture of Morocco. The apparent calm of a tennis match at the Emir's palace, surrounded by glorious gardens, fountains and heavy scented jasmin blossoms is another.
James Pettrie is an Englishman trying hard to stay alive in that crazy Moroccan labyrinth of the medina-and, at the moment, he is poor.
Maddy is a small, attractive English girl in her twenties, whose world is framed by the protection of her wealthy English uncle. She is wanted by the Emir as his fourth wife and he is not the only person who wants her.
The First extraordinary encounter between James and Maddy has repercussions, stretching from London to Fez, to Barcelona, Marseilles and Milan: and reaching back into the past to the night of a young man's murder. From then on, there is no peace. James and Maddy sometimes rush, sometimes struggle, through a maze of European espionage of deceit and lies, of sudden clues and frantic escapes, of fear and of death.
The Semi-exotic Moroccan world contains characters as unique as the medina itself. There is Zaki, a crazy buffoon, flippant and superstitious, yet a good friend to James. And, at the opposite end of the spectrum, N'Fawa, an African who has been through the English school system and does not take any Englishman seriously, except James Pettrie.
