Description: "When popular man-about-town, Tom Sinclair, learns that his sister has run away, he sails from London, confident of finding her." "The trail leads him to Morocco where his worst fears for her safety are suddenly confirmed and he becomes stranded in a country where he understands neither the language nor the culture. His quest seems at a dead end - until help is thrust on him from an unexpected and unwelcome source." "Francesca, a sharp-tongued Spanish governess, has spent much of her life in North Africa, and when she learns of Tom's need for a translator, she snatches the opportunity to join the search for his missing sister - while hiding her own grim agenda in the enterprise."--BOOK JACKET.
