A disgraced journalist. A murdered curator. A secret hidden beneath Malta for centuries.
Theo Ashcroft arrives in Malta hoping to escape the scandal that destroyed his career. Instead, he witnesses the execution of Dr Elena Vella, a respected museum curator who leaves him with a mysterious package.
Joined by Elena's daughter, archaeologist Sofia Vella, Theo is drawn into a deadly search that leads through Malta's ancient streets, hidden catacombs and historic churches. As they uncover clues concealed within some of the island's most iconic locations, they discover evidence of a secret protected for generations.
But they are not the only ones searching.
Powerful forces are willing to kill to keep the truth buried, and every answer pulls Theo closer to a mystery that reaches back through centuries of history.
Set against the real-world backdrop of Malta's fortresses, cathedrals and underground chambers, The Ninth Veil is a gripping historical thriller filled with hidden history, ancient secrets and relentless suspense.
Ideal for readers who enjoy historical mysteries, archaeological intrigue, secret societies and high-stakes adventure.
