Casablanca Blues - Paperback

by Tahir Shah (Author)

Blaine Williams lives and breathes Casablanca.

He's trapped in a make-believe world of Bogart and Bergman, of smoke-filled cafés, of fugitives and hit men.

And he's having a mid-life crisis.

Having lost his girlfriend, his job, and his home, he flees to the one place that has always symbolized comfort in times of sorrow and despair -

Diving in at the deep end of Morocco's most misunderstood city, Blaine is sucked down through the many interwoven layers until he hits its bedrock... with a thump!

And it's there that he meets Ghita, a fabulously wealthy socialite...who's got a plan for him - one laced with intrigue and revenge.

Through an adventure played out in twists and turns, Blaine and Ghita find themselves in a storyline straight out of Humphrey Bogart's Casablanca.

Hilarious, poignant, and shocking at times, Casablanca Blues lifts the veil on modern Morocco and conjures a secret realm hidden from travellers and locals alike.
