<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>"Charles Cumming has breathed new life into the spy novel." --Ben Macintyre, bestselling author of <i>A Spy Among Friends</i> <p/></b><b>Published in the UK as <i>The Man Between</i></b> <br> <b><br>In <i>The Moroccan Girl</i>, a gripping contemporary thriller reminiscent of the classic <i>Casablanca</i>, a successful spy novelist is drawn into a real-life espionage plot when he's ordered to find a mysterious fugitive on the alluring but deadly streets of Morocco.</b> <p/>Renowned author Kit Carradine is approached by an MI6 officer with a seemingly straightforward assignment: to track down a mysterious woman hiding somewhere in the exotic, perilous city of Marrakesh. But when Carradine learns the woman is a dangerous fugitive with ties to international terrorism, the glamour of being a spy is soon tainted by fear and betrayal. <p/>Lara Bartok is a leading figure in Resurrection, a violent revolutionary movement whose brutal attacks on prominent right-wing public figures have spread hatred and violence across the world. Her disappearance ignites a race between warring intelligence services desperate to find her--at any cost. But as Carradine edges closer to the truth, he finds himself drawn to this brilliant, beautiful, and profoundly complex woman. <p/>Caught between increasingly dangerous forces who want Bartok dead, Carradine soon faces an awful choice: to abandon Lara to her fate, or to risk everything trying to save her.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Another winner from the superbly talented Cumming. --<b><i>Booklist </i>(starred review)</b> <p/>"Seduces with its romantic settings and tantalizing touches of modern-day conspiracy." --<b><i>Kirkus Reviews<br></i></b><br>"Cumming is a terrific stylist with a great sense of place." --<b><i>Publishers Weekly<br></i></b><br>"Well-written and suspenseful." --<b><i>Washington Times</i></b> <p/>"Nobody writes more enjoyable spy thrillers than Charles Cumming. --<b>Anthony Horowitz, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author<br></b><br>"Recommended.
