Bringing 1950s Morocco vividly to life, Jane Johnson's masterful
new novel, The Black Crescent, is a gripping story of murder, magic
and divided loyalties... Hamou Badi is born in a mountain village
with the magical signs of the zouhry on his hands. In Morocco, the
zouhry is a figure of legend, a child of both humans and djinns,
capable of finding all manner of treasure: lost objects, hidden
water. But instead, Hamou finds a body. This unsolved murder
instils in Hamou a deep desire for order and justice: he trains as
an officer of the law, working for the French in Casablanca. But
the city is trapped in the turmoil of the nationalist uprising, and
soon he will be forced to choose between all he knows and all he
loves... Praise for Jane Johnson 'An irresistible story-teller'
Barbara Erskine 'Page-turning stuff' The Times 'Jane Johnson writes
with such grace' Carol Drinkwater 'Beautifully written' Mail on
Sunday 'Johnson writes the sort of books you want to tell everyone
about' Katie Fforde
