Praise for this book
"A gripping thriller, this book poses a universal question: how far are we prepared to go in pursuit of the truth, and do we really want the answers when we find them?" - Louise Doughty
"The best book about Morocco since The Sheltering Sky. Completely absorbing and atmospheric." - Philip Kerr
"Douglas does it again! This is the kind of novel you absolutely cannot put down, the kind that gets your pulse racing, to such an extent you have to switch off your phone, ignore your entourage, and devour to the very end. Brilliantly compelling, startling, and exotic, definitely one of Kennedy's best works." - Tatiana De Rosnay
