Forged in post-war turmoil, steeped in smoky noir, and set against the vivid backdrop of Tangier's tangled alleys.
Murder, politics, and a city built on contradictions. In Tangier, the truth is always the most dangerous thing to carry.
Tangier in the mid 1950s is a powder keg disguised as a city. A place where anarchists, fascists, smugglers, diplomats, and drifters all jostle for space in the near lawless International Zone. Private detective Shorty MacAllister has learned to survive its chaos and knows when a case is about to go sideways.
This one starts with a corpse.
An anarchist is found dead in an alley, a fascist dagger buried in his chest. The murder threatens to ignite the city's fragile political balance, and the International Council wants the whole thing handled quietly. Too quietly.
At the same time, Shorty is pulled into a second crisis: three political operatives need to be smuggled out of Tangier, fast -- and every faction in the city seems determined to stop them.
With forged passports changing hands, extremists circling, and the city's spies watching from every café, Shorty must navigate a maze of lies where every favour has a price and every ally has an angle. The deeper he digs, the clearer it becomes that while the two cases aren't connected, they're on a collision course.
Three Passports to Trouble is Book 2 of the Moroccan Mysteries, a gripping historical mystery series perfect for readers who love atmospheric crime, morally complicated detectives, and settings that feel alive on the page. For fans of Robert Galbraith, Sue Grafton, Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler.
