Excellent- More about The Black Crescent
The Black Crescent is a gripping novel by Jane Johnson that takes place in 1950s Morocco and follows the story of Hamou Badi, a young man born with magical signs of the zouhry on his hands, who becomes an officer of the law and is forced to choose between his loyalty to the French and his love for his country during the nationalist uprising.

Bringing 1950s Morocco vividly to life, Jane Johnson's masterful new novel, The Black Crescent, is a gripping story of murder, magic, and divided loyalties.
Hamou Badi is born in a mountain village with the magical signs of the zouhry on his hands. In Morocco, the zouhry is a figure of legend, a child of both humans and djinns, capable of finding all manner of treasure: lost objects, hidden water.
But instead, Hamou finds a body. This unsolved murder instills in Hamou a deep desire for order and justice: he trains as an officer of the law, working for the French in Casablanca.
But the city is trapped in the turmoil of the nationalist uprising, and soon he will be forced to choose between all he knows and all he loves.
