Contrary to the vow of chastity

Contrary to the vow of chastity

The Isenhagen Monastery on the outskirts of Hankensbüttel is one of the six heath monasteries.

James von Leyden: The Missing of Tangier

James von Leyden: The Missing of Tangier

“The Missing of Tangier” is Leyden’s second novel. I became aware of the first book, titled “Shadows over Marrakech,” in my trusted library due to its subtitle “A Morocco Crime Story.” As an economist specializing in the Arab world, I dive into anything related to the Middle East or North Africa. While the first crime novel focuses on Lieutenant Karim
