While they experiment with the culture of Morocco and try to stay out of trouble, they discover much more than the trinkets in the markets. Their heart open to the people, terrain, religion and experience all the cultural clash as imagined. But when things really get weird in that sunny, sandy country, they become much more than tourists. They become – involved. Using what can only be described as show more good old American know how, they inveigle, connive, convince and manage to become emissaries in a most comical way. Parker’s descriptions of this area of the world are breathtaking and the imagination to create the events is enthralling.

Wow! What a great read! The funny parts made my throat close up in parts! They were hilarious! Morocco is forever changed when tourists, Karly and Kent Winfield, happen upon the place. There is no censoring Karly in such a religious place. She has little respect for anything as long as she can say exactly what she wants, as loud as she wants.

Once they enter the small town of Tiz Tisgul, the Moslem men call Kent and Karly witches when weird, geological anomalies suddenly take place, and after show more Kent pulls a dead body out of a tourist cave. Their riat manager tries to tell them what the villagers think of them and why.

It isn't until the Rita's manager's wife tells them to see a science professor when they reach Fez, that they learn about the ancient Moslem superstitions of jinn and an ifirat, and their coexistence with modern scientific thought and how compatible science and religion really is. Were the Winfields on to simple tricks played by the evil jinn or is the end of the earth as we know it absolutely imminent? Will the Winfields be kicked out of Morrocco before their sight seeing is over? Only by reading this treasure will you find out for sure. You will love every bit of it as much as I did!
