Flight to Fez

Steeped in post-war tension, smoky noir grit, and the charged atmosphere of Tangier. Perfect for readers who crave atmospheric historical mysteries and morally complex heroes.

A city of shifting loyalties. A murder with too many suspects. And a detective who can’t walk away this time.

Tangier is a city that collects stories — wild ones, dangerous ones, and the kind that never make it into the newspapers. Shorty has seen more than his share. From tracking Nazi fugitives to crossing paths with anarchists, con men, and political radicals, he’s learned that in this city, the past never stays buried for long.

But nothing prepares him for the chaos that erupts when a literary event turns deadly.

An audience member is found murdered, and the police waste no time pinning the crime on Shorty’s old war buddy, a man he knows is innocent. Determined to clear his friend’s name, Shorty dives into a maze of rival factions, hidden grudges, and secrets that stretch from wartime Europe to Tangier’s bohemian cafés.

The investigation widens, darkens, and pulls Shorty into Fez — an ancient city utterly foreign to him. Disoriented and hunted, he moves through its twisting streets. Someone in this shifting world of spies, artists, and opportunists will kill again before letting the truth come out.

Flight to Fez is Book 3 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.
