Also known as Morrocan Traffic A bomb explodes in the offices of Kingsley Conglomerates, shattering delicate takeover negotiations and sending upwardly mobile Executive Secretary Wendy Helmann, her inimitable mother, the Chairman of Kingsley Conglomerates, elusive portrait painter Johnson Johnson, and new Kingsley Board Member, microchip genius-cum-appliance designer Mo Morgan, from the board rooms of London to the souks of Morocco.As Wendy endures chases on horseback through crowded narrow streets, vintage car races across the High Atlas from Marrakesh to Taroudannt, soccer championships laced with murder, and even a wild boar in the swimming pool, she realizes there’s more at stake than washing-machine components, or even the survival of Kingsley Conglomerates.This highly pertinent look at the world of big business in the last decade of the twentieth century presents Dorothy Dunnett at the very top of her form.
