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. The Man in the Cage is Volume 23 of the Spatterlight Press Signature Series. Released in the centenary of the author's birth, this handsome new collection is based upon the prestigious Vance Integral Edition. Select volumes enjoy up-to-date maps, and many are graced with freshly-written forewords contributed by a distinguished group of authors. Each book bears a facsimile of the author's signature and a previously-unpublished photograph, chosen from family archives for the period the book was written. These unique features will be appreciated by all, from seasoned Vance collector to new reader sampling the spectrum of this author's influential work for the first time. - John Vance II… (more)

An American disappears while running guns in #Morocco. Receiving an urgent letter from him, his brother Darrell comes to find him. Darrell finds nothing but shady characters & shadier circumstances as he travels the country piecing together what happened. Set mostly in Tangiers, we get to see vast swaths of the country, too. The mystery is excellent & a twist so surprising no one could possibly guess it. Highly recommended. ( )
