Friday Memes: The Moroccan Girl by Charles Cummings

 

The Moroccan Girl

The Moroccan Girl, February 12th, 2019, St. Martin's Press
A spy novelist is ordered to find a mysterious fugitive on the streets of Morocco.

Book beginning:
"Will you prefer to talk or to write everything down?"
"Talk," she said.
Somerville crossed the room and activated the voice recorder. The American had brought it from the Embassy. There was a small microphone attached to a stand, a glass of tap water and a plate of biscuits on the table.
"Ready?" he asked.
"Ready."

Page 56:

 The sealed package was somewhere beneath Carradine's feet in the chill of the baggage hold; he knew that it would contain the answers to his many questions and felt his professional obligation to Mantis dissipating with every passing mile. 

Book description: 
When he is approached by MI6 and asked to carry out a simple task on behalf of his country while attending a literary festival in Morocco, Carradine jumps at the chance.

He soon finds himself on the trail of Lara Bartok, a leading figure in Resurrection, a violent revolutionary movement targeting prominent right-wing political figures around the world. Caught between competing intelligence services who want Bartok dead, Carradine faces a choice: to abandon Bartok to her fate or to risk everything trying to save her.
