from The White Fly
The White Fly (2000) is the first Arabic detective novel translated into English. Set in contemporary Tangier, Morocco, the narrative follows Detective Laafrit as he investigates the case of four dead bodies that have washed up on the city s beaches. While the victims initially appear to be harraga
-or illegal immigrants-who regularly drown in the Straits of Gibraltar trying to reach Spain in small fishing boats, Laafrit quickly discovers that one of them has been brutally shot dead. Guns are illegal and impossible to obtain in Morocco, so the mysterious shooting has shaken the entire police force. Laafrit begins his investigation searching for the murder weapon and soon uncovers a spiraling conspiracy of international sabotage. In this early scene in the novel, Laafrit, hoping for a lead, goes to a chic bar to meet with Fifi, a famous belly dancer and a secret informant for the police.
