An idealistic young Englishman, Harry Summerfield, befriends an American oil explorer in Gibraltar in the 1930s. Their meeting sparks a journey for both men which will take them across Morocco and northern Africa, to encounter the harsh realities of Berber opposition to French colonial rule and the passion of a love for the same young French woman. Full of action, character and extraordinarily vivid local colour, this is a huge novel of adventure and romance which keeps the reader guessing page after page.

Tom Gamble was born and grew up in England, but moved to Paris as a young man, working as a musician. He has served as a soldier, trekked alone across isolated parts of north Africa, and has run his own training company. This is his first published novel. He lives in France.
