WHILE TRAVELING FROM EUROPE TO MOROCCO, the young American newspaper reporter Will Clark is drawn into killing a drug dealer near Tangier. Pursued by other gang members and the police, his bond with his companions broken and his sense of himself shattered, Will plunges deeper into the country and further into danger, traveling to Marrakesh, over the Atlas Mountains and into the remote Sahara Desert. At the same time, he is searching for the beautiful Stacey Snow, an elusive blond backpacker whose love might make him whole again—or doom them both. Will’s destiny is also driven by memories of his late father, a man he idolized but whose true story has yet to be revealed.

A literary thriller that combines action and suspense with exotic locations, while touching on themes of alienation, class divisions and complex father-son relationships, Shadows the Sizes of Cities by Gregory W. Beaubien will transport you with its descriptions, while its story keeps you on the edge of your seat.
