The Moroccan Girl

A successful author of spy thrillers finds himself in an actual case, much to his surprise, in this latest from "Alec Milius" and "Thomas Kell" spy series author Cummings. "Kit" Carradine is struggling with his next book and his life when a fan stops him on the street near his London home. The conversation turns odd, and Kit soon finds himself on a mission to Marrakech. There, while attending a writer's conference, he is to connect with a woman who may or may not be part of Resurrection, an avenging group of left-wingers. Some other people befriend Kit—coincidence or something sinister? Kit screws up, then recovers, and collects the girl, only to find it all turned around on him. The action goes back and forth between London and Morocco, just as the various characters shift from friend to foe. With kidnappings, disguises, and sealed packages, this novel manages to be both dramatic and slyly humorous.
