In 1966 fashion student Vicky Baudin arrives in Morocco for numerous reasons, one as it's the chosen destination of her favourite fashion designer Yves St Lauren and more importantly to meet her long lost grandmother Clemence.
But instead of a jolly, loving grandma Vicky finds the cold, aloof and very secretive Clemence.
Vicky is determined to find out about her past and her family history.
But she unwittingly gets swept along with the political climate of 60s Morocco.
Marrakech is a hotbed of unrest.
As she delves deeper into the past she also exposes the seedy side of Moroccan underlife and meets people she really doesn't want to associate with.
As she courts danger at every turn Vicky is getting dragged into situations she can't control.
But how much is it of her own making and how much is to do with Clemence's closely guarded secrets?
This was a novel full of intrigue danger and excitement set against political and historical turmoil amidst a lush, exotic panorama of Moroccan life.
