About The Book
Riley Fitzhugh, former Hollywood private detective turned US Navy lieutenant, is recruited by the OSS for temporary duty as a naval spy in Morocco during the planning for Operation Torch, the Allied invasion of North Africa. Riley’s assignment is to kidnap a French river pilot and extract him from Casablanca.
Along the way, Riley meets an old flame from his days in Hollywood. She’s an English aristocrat who may or may not be a German agent or an Allied double. Together with an employee of the US Consulate in Morocco—a lapsed Russian rabbi—they spirit the pilot out of French Morocco to Tangier. But some surprises are waiting for all of them in the end.

NetGalley Review: 4 stars
Last updated on 13 Mar 2022
"A good follow-up to the first book in the series. The action is not as intense, but a good spy/mystery plot makes this a good read. I enjoy the main characters and cannot wait for the next book!
Thank you to #NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review."—Ron Baumer, reviewer at Nawah Energy
– NetGalley review
Terry Mort’s Riley Fitzhugh novels are delightful homages to the works of Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett.
– Quarterdeck
Mr. Mort's lucid, often beautifully written books are a pleasure to read.
– The Wall Street Journal
Mort makes a fascinating read of every subject he takes up.
– Associated Press
Mr. Mort, quite a stylist himself, writes with clarity, a gentle touch and deft choice of words, similes and metaphors.
– Washington Times
