Let It Come Down

Leaving his uneventful life in America behind him, Nelson Dyar sails to Tangier to take up work in a travel agency run by an old acquaintace Jack Wilcox. From his arrival he begins to explore the dark underworld of the city: its bars and brothels; its erotic film shows and suspect financial arrangements; its aristocracy and its prostitutes. Determined to make something happen in his new life, he is drawn into a series of increasingly sinister events from which there seems little chance of escape.

This dark , terrifiying novel is arguably Bowles's greatest achievement.
