‘The desert hides dark secrets…’
MARRAKECH 1966

It’s an epic journey that’ll take her to the edge of Atlas Mountains – and closer to the answers she’s been craving all her life.
But dark secrets whisper amongst the dunes. And in unlocking the mystery of Clemence’s past, Vicky will unearth great danger too . . .
cWhen Vicky Baudin travels to Morocco to visit the grandmother she never knew existed, the young French woman doesn’t count on her life being in danger.
Author Dinah Jefferies pens an engaging story set in 1966 with Night Train to Marrakech. Not only does the author capture the fragile political atmosphere, but she also appeals to the senses with descriptive language showcasing the setting.
There’s a definite sense of mystery surrounding Vicky’s grandmother, Clemence, who allegedly sent her son (Vicky’s father) away at birth. Rather than the emotional welcome Vicky sought, her grandmother seems rather reserved and distant.
From the market at Marrakech to the beautiful kasbah in the hills, the author delivers an action-packed tale of political intrigue, secrets, and revenge. When a run-in with fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent sets off a string of unfortunate events, Vicky finds herself yearning for home.
Night Train to Marrakech unravels long-buried secrets, offering second chances for happiness.
