'The books are fast paced, vivid in their descriptions and provide a gripping plot story that leaves the reader anxious for the next instalment.' ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Detective George Zammit of the Malta Police likes a quiet life, keeping his head down and avoiding trouble, but fate has other plans.
His first three adventures take him on journeys he most certainly would not wish for, as he inadvertently gets embroiled in matters far above his pay grade, taking on a formidable array of adversaries, including corrupt international gaming companies, oil smugglers, North African people traffickers, terrorist groups and a secretive organised crime family that can trace its origins to Medieval times.
Can George rise to the challenges and do the right thing or will his own moral compass waiver in the face of widespread corruption and the loyalties of small island life?
Bodies in the Water
The investigation of a body floating in Malta’s Grand Harbour leads George to uncover a secretive organised crime group, sanction busting oil smugglers, money launderers and a people smuggling militia which takes him deep into the Libyan desert. George finds friendship in the most unlikely of places and draws on reserves of courage he never knew he had. Will it be enough to get him home safely and bring down justice upon those who deserve it?
Bullets in the Sand
Russian mercenaries operating in Libya disturb the peace in Malta, with a bang. George is called on to go above and beyond his normal duties and, against his better judgement, finds himself back in Libya, trying to make amends for mistakes of the past. There, he finds himself threatened in ways he could never imagine. Back in Malta, a new and ruthless force is rising to capture the energy market and make a play for control of a mysterious European organised crime group. Can George find a way to control the chaos in the southern Mediterrean?
Hawk at the Crossroads.
Turkey is the new powerbroker in the Southern Mediterrean and the man they call the Hawk soars above in Istanbul, pulling the strings. Once again, George finds himself away from the comforts of home buffeted by international players all competing for the riches beneath the sea and deserts of the Mediterrean basin. Behind it all, a ruthless Maltese heiress sets her sights on the Hawk and they circle one another in a game where only one of them can win!
In the centre of it all, George lurches from one crisis to another, trying to impose the law on those who consider themselves beyond it. Will he succeed?
The first three books turn a spotlight on life in Malta, its people and its position which has long been a crossroads between Europe and the Arab world. Taken straight from today’s news headlines, they explore themes of political corruption, migration, the unabated quest for energy and Malta’s role as a new and lax financial centre, all with a healthy dose of humour, while following the journey of lowly Inspector George Zammit who is thrown in at the deep end of this melting pot.
