La belle de Casa

Who could have killed beautiful Ichrak in an alley of a working-class Casablanca neighborhood? This bold, magnificent young woman, daughter of a half-mad fortune teller, irritated as many as she enchanted, refusing to be either seduced or harassed. All coveted her as much as they feared her, except perhaps Sese, newly arrived from Kinshasa, her friend and partner in a shady business. In this twenty-first-century metropolis ruled by money, sex and power, suspects abound. With keen lucidity and ferocious humor, In Koli Jean Bofane denounces real-estate corruption, the plight of migrants and male greed.
