Overview
Steeped in post‑war tension, noir grit, and the electric atmosphere of a city on the edge. A captivating noir mystery set in exotic Morocco.
A stolen bank. A city of a thousand secrets.
Right after WWII, Tangier is the wildest city in North Africa — a lawless crossroads where hustlers, grifters, addicts, fugitives, and fortune‑seekers all chase their luck in a place where everything is for sale. In this chaotic International Zone, private detective Shorty MacAllister is just trying to survive. Tangier may be the only place that would have him… but it’s also the only place where a detective can catch cases stranger than fiction.
And this one tops them all.
A bank hasn’t been robbed — it’s been stolen. The entire thing.
Dragged into a mystery that shocks even a city built on secrets, Shorty must navigate Tangier’s teeming underworld, where everyone knows him but no one tells the whole truth. As the fallout spreads from the wealthy investors to the ordinary people who depended on the bank, Shorty races to uncover who could pull off the impossible… and why.
Tangier Bank Heist is Book 1 of the Moroccan Mysteries. Based on a true story when an actual Tangier bank was stolen in the 1950s, it’s a gripping historical mystery series perfect for readers who love atmospheric crime, morally complicated detectives, and settings that feel alive on the page. For fans of Robert Galbraith, Sue Grafton, Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler.
