The Man in the Cage

Noel Hutson considers himself a gentleman adventurer-but running guns in Morocco during Algeria's revolution, he gets more than he bargained for.

Noel goes missing, and his brother Darrell Hutson comes to Tangier to search. Darrell soon finds himself immersed in a shady world of ruthless smugglers and nationalist Muslim fanatics.

When Noel disappeared, he took with him an enormous payment. Both sides think Darrell will lead them to it.

The stakes are unimaginably high-and Darrell isn't the only one who could get hurt.
