About this audiobook
An atmospheric mystery in the heart of the Fez medina — a marriage of keen eyes and warm hearts.
Frances Wren has spent thirty years as the woman nobody notices: the eye at the edge of the room, who sees everything and is seen by no one. Then a magazine sends her and her husband, Hugh, to Fez — and the city looks back.
In the honey-walled maze, an ageing collector sets a six-hundred-year-old brass astrolabe in her hands, and her thumb finds what her eye slid past: a hairline scar in the metal, broken once in six centuries, mended so finely only the skin can feel it. Days later, under Hugh's slow lamp, the scar is gone.
Brass does not heal. Someone has traded the sky for a flawless lie, and only Frances has held both. To prove it she'll need Hugh — she can see that a treasure has been replaced; only he can see why a man would steal it.
No body. No spectacle. Just a small wrong detail, a house full of people not looking, and a truth that costs more to tell than to solve.
