The Malta job is the story of  John Smith, a young Scottish journalist with literary aspirations, who is sent to Malta to complete a sequel to the very successful MacMurder, a round-up of Scotland’s more infamous homicides. The original author had died just before completing the planned sequel MacAbre, a follow-up tale of other gruesome Scottish crimes.

Once on Malta, with the dead author’s notes, he gets involved in gripping events involving high romance, exciting adventure and a bank heist crime worthy of inclusion in either book.

The Malta Job is a highly literate, greatly accomplished fictional debut by an author well known for high quality non-fiction works
