Although not due out until September, the new novel, The Cobbler's Apprentice, is already being promoted by the publishers. Morocco features strongly in the second half of the novel with scenes set in the Medina of Fez and Essaouira.The Cobbler's Apprentice
by Sandy McCutcheon (pub. Scribe)
Publisher's Synopsis:
When Samir Al-Hassani, a young Palestinian who had been captured in Iraq, does the impossible and escapes from Guantanamo Bay, it sets off a chain of events that will lead to anguish and bloodshed around the world.
He thinks he is being helped by fellow jihadis, but Samir is being set up - in more ways than one. He has embarked on a journey into the bewildering heartland of terrorism and counterterrorism, where betrayal and deceit go hand-in-hand with honour and duty. But who is pulling the strings: the CIA, Mossad, or someone even more treacherous?
When he emerges with a master and a mission, the stage is set for a hair-raising development: Samir is about to become a biological weapon of mass destruction, targeted at the very people who released him.
From Guantanamo to Morocco, vengeance has many faces.
