Murder at the Italian Chapel
-
Some secrets were never meant to surface. Some are worth killing for.
In the car park of the Italian Chapel - Orkney's miraculous wartime landmark - a dying man collapses at the feet of Italian detective Dino Moretti and whispers a cryptic clue.
Moretti is in Orkney with his wife, trying to outrun the grief of their daughter's murder. But the clue won't let him walk away.
What begins as a single death opens into something far older - a pattern of unexplained deaths, a missing Englishman no one will account for, and a secret stretching back to 1943 that powerful interests have suppressed for decades.
Teaming up with Inga - a journalist investigating a death her family was never meant to question - Moretti finds an ally whose past is tangled in the same conspiracy. On an island where neighbours close ranks and evidence disappears, the truth is not just hidden - it is controlled.
Somewhere on Orkney, proof still exists. MI5 has spent a lifetime ensuring it stays that way. If it does, it won't just rewrite the past - it will expose those who have killed to protect it.
