Spencer Bly is supposed to be taking it easy.
After an assignment in Gibraltar left the former operative badly injured, Spencer has been ordered to rest. So there's only one thing to do: head to Malta, walk the ancient trails, photograph birds, and stay out of trouble.
Then a migrant is beaten by armed men on a deserted beach.
The police aren't interested.
But Spencer is.
The mission: Find out what a powerful humanitarian charity is really doing with the people arriving on Malta's shores.
At the heart of the world’s deadliest migration route, the tiny nation is struggling with limited space, limited resources and mounting pressure to find a solution.
The Neo-Knights of St John Foundation promises to solve the island's growing migrant crisis. But behind its polished public image and glossy brochures lies a world of exploitation, coercion and fear.
And the deeper Spencer digs, the more dangerous the truth becomes.
With powerful allies protecting the Foundation and vulnerable lives hanging in the balance, Spencer must decide how far to go to expose the truth.
Because this time, the fight isn't for King and country; it’s for people who have nobody else.
Knight Island is a taut, unflinching thriller for fans of Spooks, Reacher, and 24 — where paradise has a price, and somebody always pays it.
Genre: Thriller
