Fire in the Mountain (Inspector George Zammit, #4)

From Malta to Sicily

Inspector George Zammit, of the Maltese Pulizija, is sent to Sicily to investigate the kidnap of his boss’s niece. There, he finds a city in the clutches of organised crime, while the mighty volcano, Mount Etna, is on the verge of a cataclysmic eruption.

A thirst for power

Natasha Bonnici is the head of a mysterious crime family with big ambitions to control Europe’s energy markets. She, and her partner Hakan Toprak, the arch manipulator and power broker known as The Hawk, enter into a political conspiracy to extend their grip across southern Europe. In doing so, they
place George in the middle of their fight with the most powerful of adversaries.

New challenges, new dangers

In his quest, George encounters mystical priests, insane counts, ruthless criminals, scheming politicians and the perils of the volcano’s fiery eruptions. Along the way, he learns a painful lesson about trust and loss, which will haunt him forever.
