Praise for The Torch of Tangier "Set in 1942, Baron's fast-paced second thriller/mystery featuring Lily Sampson finds the attractive archeologist working in Morocco...the issues she raises about Western versus Islamic cultural values couldn't be more timely." -Publishers Weekly Under the pressure of war, heroes arise in unusual places. In Aileen Baron's The Torch of Tangier, the main character is not a brave soldier stolen from his home; on the contrary, she is an archeologist. World War II transformed Lily Sampson's job into a nightmare. She should be uncovering Neanderthal artifacts; instead she is stuck in Tangier with the rest of the team, awaiting clearance to dig from Franco's Guardia Civil. But that doesn't stop Lily from working. Recruited into the OSS, Lily is quickly part of Operation Torch whose mission is to gain control of French Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, and to squash Rommel. And then, her work for her country's cause is interrupted by murder.... Aileen G. Baron has a Ph.D. in archaeology and taught for 20 years at California State University, Fullerton. Her first novel, A Fly Has a Hundred Eyes, written when she was 76 years old, won first place in the mystery category at both the Pikes Peak Writers conference and the SouthWest Writers Conference. The Torch of Tangier is the second of three novels to feature archaeologist Lily Sampson. www.aileengbaron.com
