A Dead Man in Tangier by Michael Pearce
Why is Seymour of Scotland Yard summoned to somewhere so exotic as North Africa? Isn't the death of a Frenchman there something for the local police? Well, yes and no. The local police are answerable to the International Committee, of which the chairman is the British Consul. So naturally the ensuing investigation has to be above board.
"* 'As always, Pearce's dialogue sparkles and the period background has a strong feeling of authenticity, making for a very enjoyable read' Susanna Yager, Sunday Telegraph * 'The steady pace, atmospheric design, and detailed description re-create a complicated city. A recommended historical series.' Library Journal * 'Sheer fun.' The Times"
