So now Dan is single, a man without any kind of partner whether working or in love. He's just one reluctant dog owner. Find a new home for him, that's the plan. But Doggo proves to be just as reluctant to go...

In this riveting tale set in summer 1942, Malta, the most bombed place on earth, faces relentless Axis air raids. The resilient Maltese people endure as Max Chadwick, a British officer, manipulates news to maintain their morale. With only a few fighter planes to defend against a potential Nazi occupation, the stakes are high. When Max discovers the brutal murder of a young woman, allegedly committed by a British officer, he realizes that the Maltese's loyalty to the war effort is at risk. As the threat of invasion looms, Max must investigate the murder discreetly, navigating the scrutiny of superiors, friends, and the woman he loves.
