NANCY V. RILEY

Author of "The Passport Series Moroccan Mystery"
 

Nancy is also the wife
of the U.S. Ambassador
to Morocco, Thomas Riley.



 

Back to Top

You might think Nancy Drew is the inspiration for author Nancy Riley's new mystery books called the Passport Series. In her first installment, Moroccan Mystery, the daughters of the new United States Ambassador to Morocco are

swept up into a strange and exotic world of Islam, kasbahs and ancient Medinas. It's a little scary at times, but all turns out well in the end and the girls learn invaluable life lessons in their first exposure to a major religion and a culture much different from their own. Nancy is the wife of the U.S. Ambassador to Morocco, lives in Rabat and is involved in many Moroccan charities. She is also the mother of two girls. Now you know the real inspiration for these stories.
