In 1952, John Taverner, recently discharged from the British army, meets Felix Mole by chance on platform three of the Swindon railway station.Mole is the owner of Sam’s, a saloon and gaming establishment in Tangier. Over a British railways breakfast, Felix offers John a job looking after the accounts at Sam’s, should he ever be in Tangier. Disillusioned with life in postwar England, young Taverner throws caution to the wind and takes off for Morocco for a new life in the International Zone that is Tangier. He finds on his arrival that in spite of his lack of experience, Felix wants him to not only manage the accounts, but take over the running of Sam’s. The people he works with in Tangier are a far cry from those in his native Dorset, and the adventures he experiences are far beyond anything he would ever have imagined, including smuggling, the Cold War, and relationships of a romantic nature.Author Bio : Peter Clements has written five novels. He holds an honour’s degree in political science from the University of Canterbury. The grandfather of seven, he is a retired airline pilot and has also worked in film, television, radio, and ran his own video company.
