Shadows of Meknes
Synopsis
An irresistible follow up to the Shadows series finds Ramzi and Dr Rashida in Meknès tasting disputes over a vineyard and decanting the facts of an unexpected death.
Hearing Rashida is visiting relatives in Meknès, Ramzi escapes Marrakech to join her, taking up an invite to stay with the Jeandels at their vineyard nearby. Instead of a tranquil setting, a hit and run, inconsistencies in the way the owner died, family disputes over producing a premium vintage partnered with an American wine critic or selling land entangled by tribal claims, end in another death.
Was it just one more accident—or one more murder? Against the backdrop of the imperial city of Meknes, Ramzi and Rashida try to decant the truth, but a further mystery is afoot—why is Ramzi's housekeeper Latifa on strike and acting bizarrely?
