"Set in 1942, Baron's fast-paced second thriller/mystery featuring Lily Sampson (after 2002's A Fly Has a Hundred Eyes) finds the attractive archeologist working in Morocco, where her mentor, Prof. Hammond Drury, gets her involved with the clandestine activities of William "Wild Bill" Donovan, the real-life founder of the OSS. Lily and Hammond take cover jobs as part of the American legation in Tangier, while coded messages whiz back and forth in preparation for an Allied surprise offensive against Rommel. Foreign agents of several countries cast an eye on Lily, and two of her friends meet violent ends in a whodunit subplot that borders on the simplistic. Baron may not meld political treachery, murder and historical detail as seamlessly as, say, Michael Pearce in his Egyptian historicals (Death of an Effendi), but the issues she raises about Western versus Islamic cultural values couldn't be more timely."--Booklist, ""Set in 1942, Baron's fast-paced second thriller/mystery featuring Lily Sampson (after 2002's A Fly Has a Hundred Eyes) finds the attractive archeologist working in Morocco, where her mentor, Prof. Hammond Drury, gets her involved with the clandestine activities of William ""Wild Bill"" Donovan, the real-life founder of the OSS.

Synopsis
War time Tangier, policed by Franco's Guardia Civil, thick with many nationalities including Germans and Allies, bitter with the insults of Colonialism, is a dangerous place. Archaeologist Lily Sampson, recruited from her studies in Chicago by the enigmatic Dr. Drury, finds herself in Morocco digging up Neanderthal artifacts at the Cave of Hercules. And soon, working at the American Legation on an undercover mission linked to Operation Torch. The target date: November 8, 1942. The mission: to control French Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, squash Rommel, and thrust into Europe's underbelly. Out in the Atlantic, Ike will rely on relayed communications. But Lily's mastery of code is interrupted by murder--not one, but twowhich not only imperils her, but Torch itself., Under the pressure of war, heroes arise in unusual places. In Aileen Baron's The Torch of Tangier, the main character is not a brave soldier stolen from his home; on the contrary, she is an archeologist. World War II transformed Lily Sampson's job into a nightmare. She should be uncovering Neanderthal artifacts; instead she is stuck in Tangier with the rest of the team, awaiting clearance to dig from Franco's Guardia Civil. But that doesn't stop Lily from working. Recruited into the OSS, Lily is quickly part of Operation Torch whose mission is to gain control of French Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, and to squash Rommel. And then, her work for her country's cause is interrupted by murder. . . ., Under the pressure of war, heroes arise in unusual places.
