Plot Overview: Mystery in Marrakesh

Set in 1906, The Assembly of the Dead takes place during a tumultuous period in Moroccan history, where domestic instability clashes with growing European influence. In the winding alleyways of Marrakesh, young women are vanishing without a trace. With no official police force to turn to, the Sultan summons Farook Al-Alami, a seasoned detective from Tangier, to investigate the disturbing disappearances.

Farook enters a city under siege from famine and fear, armed only with his intuition and a royal decree. As he navigates the silent distrust of the locals and the political machinations of the era, he realizes that uncovering the truth will require more than just detective work. The tension escalates around Jemma el-Fna—the legendary square where the dead arguably assemble—and Farook must race against time to stop a killer before more innocent lives are lost.
