Media Reviews
"Abdelilah Hamdouchi seems to have found the formula for the emergence of the Moroccan detective novel."—Liberation Kaleidoscope
"The Final Bet is a great introduction to Moroccan policiers—at once very familiar to western crime fiction readers, but then very Moroccan too as family loyalties, filial debts and traditional prejudices all swirl around the case."—Literary Hub
