Death on the Island

Malta, 1880. A quarantine island. A killer among them.

When British civil servant Laurence Buchanan is found floating in Quarantine Harbour, Malta, it is first thought to be an accident. But new evidence quickly reveals a much darker story and Detective Inspector McQueen, an Edinburgh policeman on loan to the Maltese force, is called to investigate.

“An excellent follow up to Death in Valletta with dour Scottish detective DI Sam McQueen once again reluctantly cast into the fray in 1880s Malta, prevailed upon to investigate a murder in the midst of a possible outbreak of cholera. A cracking historical mystery.”
