Description
Malta, 1913, was a place of contrasts. Hot air balloons hovered over the Grand Harbour, while beneath the surface, tensions simmered. A mysterious death at the Naval Hospital sparked an investigation that would take Seymour, a special investigator from London, to the heart of the island's complexities. As war loomed on the horizon, old allegiances were tested and new divisions emerged. The British protectorate was still firmly in place, but whispers of independence began to circulate among the Maltese families. A letter to The Times had ignited a firestorm of debate, and Seymour was tasked with uncovering the truth behind the sudden deaths. With meticulous attention to historical detail, Michael Pearce weaves a tale of intrigue and suspense, set against the vibrant backdrop of Malta in 1913.
