The Forgiven
By Lawrence Osborne

An arguing British couple run down a young fossil seller at night on their way to a party weekend retreat in the Moroccan desert. Over the next few days the consequences of this tragedy unfold as two significantly different cultures clash headlong. A stunning second novel from a major American talent. Steve

For the sake of fun and friendship, and a few days under a fiercer sun, David and Jo Henniger accept the invitation to attend the annual bacchanal of old acquaintances at their home in the Moroccan desert. On the road, darkness has descended, directions are vague and the couple begin to argue.
