Three Pints of Blood

The Blood for Blood trilogy opens when a woman is attacked in strange circumstances on a midnight street in Valletta, Malta. An island country known for its history of early civilisations and military might is the backdrop for a series of distant relations and revelations as we follow Jack Sant; a Knight of Malta, on his quest to solve some of the country’s worst cold cases. How can an 82-year old priest lead Jack to an unsympathetic killer? Hiding in plain sight Jack gets involved in a chain of events that lead to an interesting twist. What lurks in the shadows and in his dreams? Ghosts of the past return with gusto to haunt Jack as he follows the cold trail of the Red Count. Will Rita finally get the Christmas present she’s always wanted? Jack takes us on a journey of chivalry and secrets through this trilogy of the first three books: Summer Girl, Sleeping Dogs and The Black Faldetta. From the lively dancehalls to the languid conversations at dinner through the eyes of the Maltese people; a mélange of culture powered by the sun, where east meets west and north meets south in language, love and laham.
