The Final Bet: A Novel (Hoopoe Fiction)

When young and handsome Othman married Sofia-sophisticated, French, rich, and forty years his senior-he found his ticket out of a life of desperate poverty in the slums of Casablanca.

But when Sofia is brutally murdered, the police quickly zero in on Othman as the prime suspect.

With his mistress, the love of his life, waiting in the wings he certainly has motive. But is he guilty? Or has he been framed by an overzealous, corrupt police force?
