"In Morocco, nobody dies without a reason." -- Susan Gilson Miller, Harvard University In the years leading up to World War I, the Great Powers of Europe jostled one another for control over Morocco, the last sovereign nation in North Africa. France beat out its rivals and added Morocco to its vast colonial holdings through the use of diplomatic intrigue and undisguised force. But greed and ambition alone do not explain the complex story of imperialism in its entirety. Amid fears that Morocco was descending into anarchy, Third Republic France justified its bloody conquest through an appeal to a higher ideal. France's self-proclaimed "civilizing mission" eased some consciences but led to inevitable conflict and tragedy. Murder in Marrakesh relates the story of the early days of the French conquest of Morocco from a new perspective, that of Émile Mauchamp, a young French doctor, his compatriots, and some justifiably angry Moroccans. In 1905, the French foreign ministry sent Mauchamp to Marrakesh to open a charitable clinic. He died there less than two years later at the hands of a mob. Reviled by the Moroccans as a spy, Mauchamp became a martyr for the French. His death, a tragedy for some, created opportunity for others, and set into motion a chain of events that changed Morocco forever. As it reconstructs Mauchamp's life, this book touches on many themes -- medicine, magic, vengeance, violence, mourning, and memory. It also considers the wedge French colonialism drove between Morocco's Muslims and Jews. This singular episode and compelling human story provides a timely reflection on French-Moroccan relations, colonial pride, and the clash of civilizations.

Camels, kasbahs and chaos but not necessarily in that order. Down on his luck, Harry is invited by his Aunt Jessica to accompany her on one of her history tours. When one of the group is murdered and the victim's wife is arrested, neither Harry or Aunt Jessica are convinced she is guilty. Harry's attempts to investigate land him in trouble and only with Aunt Jessica's help can he avoid arrest himself. Like your crime with a touch of humour in a travel setting? If you are a fan of M E Beaton's Agatha Raison novels or Elizabeth Peters' Vicky Bliss adventures, you love Aunt Jessica's adventures. What readers are saying about MURDER IN MOROCCO: -'A somewhat lost young man joins his globe-trotting aunt for a lecture tour in Morocco, and gets far more than he bargained for. An absorbing and entertaining whodunnit in the best tradition of British murder mysteries. Interesting characters, excellent plot and pacing, and lots of great local colour of Morocco. Kept me guessing till the very end.''Another travelling triumph for Miss Cranswick who seems to have all the right sensibilities to juggle crime and humour. This is an admirable undertaking that not everybody manages. I particularly enjoy the settings within her novels although it does give me the pang to travel. Even if there is going to be murder!' 'The thing about Judith Cranswick's books is that you get a wonderful tour of whatever place the story is set in. Judith's descriptions of various locations in Morocco makes the reader 'see' everything. No need to go on an actual tour; just read Judith's book! She shows her depth of knowledge about Morocco, from the city of Marrakech to the villages in the mountainous regions, including the traditions and the food.''Just finished reading 'Murder on Morocco' and what an enjoyable read it is. There are plenty of bodies and red herrings along the way and all set against the wonderful Moroccan backdrop, which has been added to my 'must visit' list. There is even tea and cake! There are a whole new set of characters to enjoy so let's hope there are plenty more in the series.''Poor Harry! He's been down on his luck lately, so when his aunt Jessica offers him the chance to get away from a British winter on a free holiday in return for a bit of fetching and carrying, he jumps at the chance. Sadly though, things don't exactly go according to plan, and soon he and his aunt are embroiled in Murder in Morocco.'

Happy Harrow, a Kentucky hills jockey who moonlights as a sleuth, is married to Rick Harrow, an Eton-educated English racehorse trainer. Their training stables and home are in Epsom, England, a delightful and picturesque area. Their newest owner, Achilles Pinot, a tycoon of France's perfume industry gave them a completely pre-paid two week vacation in Morocco with their three small children. The gift had one condition, he asked them to chaperone his adored niece Pricilla. Happy quickly discovered that chaperoning the young and provocative Priscilla was not easy. She was constantly picking up men off the street and inviting them to come to her room either early in the evening or after midnight. The hotel recently developed a sinister reputation that appeared in the media after a teenage girl had been murdered there. The murder was attributed to a vampire because the girl had two holes on her throat that resembled pointed teeth marks. More vampire-style deaths follow at the doomed hotel. The media has created frenzy that does not let up. To get to the truth, Happy enlists her friend Maheen Palazzo to serve as her Dr. Watson-like aide; Sherlock Holmes-style to help solve the murders. The saga travels back and forth to many cities in Morocco, Agadir, Essaouira, Marrakesh and Rabat. What readers are saying about this book: The best jet you could travel to Morocco is this book because it takes you there between its covers. -Julia Hansen, step daughter of Count de Lazar de Szorgany, last direct descendant of the Count de Szorgany reputed to be the legendary Transylvania nobleman on whom the character of Dracula was based I thought this book was about horses but it’s really about sex and a reasonable doubt. -Mrs. John R. McLean, much admired daughter-in-law of the last owner of the Hope Diamond Stunning! -Peter Koppe, popular actor A great combination of horses and sex. - Nicholas Coolidge Bea gets better with time like a great wine. -Socialite Rutilia Burck, former President of Palm Beach Red Cross

Running a bed and breakfast in Riad Waqi, an old courtyard house in exotic Marrakech, is not the escape it seems for Ramzi, a disillusioned Scottish scientist. He cannot decide who are more exasperating, staff or guests, especially when one of the visitors, Paul Gallisot, a young Frenchman, is murdered in the city. Up for a challenge, Ramzi turns detective and makes his own investigations into the killing, at a time when Morocco prepares for the festival of Eid and the ritual slaughter of sheep in the nation's homes. Paul Gallisot's childhood links to North Africa, his enigmatic wife Nicole, and their relationship with Tahar, who is suspected of being involved in the Casablanca terrorist attacks, lead Ramzi down a path as challenging as the labyrinth of the historic medina of Marrakech. As Ramzi makes headway, he meets the unorthodox Dr Rashida, is bewildered by Inspector Haddad, endures the prejudice of Paul's sister, is confided a mystery by an American, Bob Spasoff, and in his role as hotelier, plays havoc with Riad Waqi's guests. The search for motive and murderer progresses from a traditional exorcism to a journey across the Atlas to the disturbing Blue Rocks near the ancient oasis of Tafrouate. There comedy turns to tragedy as he tests out his suspicions. As Ramzi uncovers the truth behind Paul Gallisot's death, he realizes people are unknowable-and that life defies scientific logic.

This fiction novel, Road to Marrakech, is a murder mystery and love story about the struggles of Jefferson Davis Steward. Born in South Alabama with a clubfoot, to an alcoholic, part-time street preacher father, he was determineed to be more than a sharecropper. His early life in the depression days of the 1930's was spent riding in box cars and sleeping in hobo jungles. At age sixteen he left his abusive, drunken father, passed out in Houston and rode the first train out. That train happened to take him to New Orleans. Playing the harmonica on the streets, mopping floors in bars, pulling himself up by his so-called boot straps, he became a private investigator. Jeff will take you with him into the sights and smells of the Vieux Carre (French Quarter) of New Orleans. In Casablanca he meets the beautiful Claudette. Visit the Medina and the intriguing Kasbah with Jeff, as he makes friends with the four hundred pound proprietor of Sheikdom du Jacque. In Marrakech he finds more than he was expecting, including adventure, murder, and romance with a beautiful lesbian. The story takes place in pre World War II Morocco, when the Nazi Germans, Vichy French and Italian Fascists were in North Africa.
