Description
Malta, 1943, is a place of tension and intrigue. The war in the air above the island is over, but the battle for Europe is about to begin. For Margarita, a young singer in a Valletta nightclub, the arrival of her former lover's wife, Vera, sets off a chain of events that will change her life forever.
Vera's news that her husband, Henry, is presumed dead sets Margarita on a quest to uncover the truth. As she delves deeper into the mystery, she finds herself drawn into a hunt for a notorious and dangerous spy, Nero. An unlikely bond forms between Margarita and Vera, and as they work together to unmask Nero, they begin to unravel a web of secrets that threaten the course of the war.
A gripping tale of love, loyalty, and deception, Secrets of Malta is a story of two women fighting for survival in a world torn apart by war and betrayal.
