Two school mates who haven't seen each other in years happen to meet in a Spanish village. Now con-man Jason, who lives there. His straight old pal Gary, is on "holiday" from his failed career and failing marriage. Before he knows what is happening, Gary is sailing off to Morocco with Jason on a dubious smuggling mission that goes very wrong. Murderously wrong.
This is more than the convential whodunit... part murder mystery, part psychological study, part police portrait; makes this book intriguing and absorbing.
