From the No. 1 bestseller and author of Richard & Judy pick The Savage Garden: an atmospheric world war two crime thriller for fans of Carlos Ruiz Zafon and Jed Rubenfeld
"You want to know who I am? I'm the last living soul you'll ever set eyes on"
Summer, 1942. For the people of Malta, suffering daily bombing raids, the British are the last line of defence against the Nazis. And it is Max Chadwick's job as the information officer to ensure the news the islanders receive maintains morale.
So when Max is given proof suggesting a British officer is murdering local women, he knows the consequences of discovery are dire. With the violence on the war-ravaged island escalating daily, he embarks on a private investigation, hidden from the eyes of superiors, friends and the woman he loves.
But Max finds himself torn between patriotic duty and personal honour in his efforts to track down the killer... an elusive figure always one step ahead of his hunter.

Acclaim for ‘The Information Officer’:
‘Outstandingly good...beautifully written, cleverly plotted and highly recommended’ Literary Review
‘So intense that this breathtaking novel reads more like a memoir than a wartime thriller... The war is much more than a colorful backdrop for the novel’s murder mystery... dramatic events vivid enough to qualify as stunning fiction, but detailed enough to be verified in the record books. Even without the added complication of a sadistic murderer, the tension is killing - and Mills leaves us gasping for breath at the end’ The New York Review of Books
‘Mark Mills is a superb writer, and The Information Officer is a superb read’ Joseph O'Neill
‘A forgotten corner of World War II rediscovered and expertly revealed to us. Fascinating and shrewdly compelling – Mark Mills does it again’ William Boyd
‘A lush, romantic thriller, skillfully crafted by master stylist Mark Mills’ George Pelecanos
‘A brilliant read with a super-smart thriller plot and an amazing denouement – it had me transported and enthralled all the way through’ Sadie Jones (bestselling author of ‘The Outcast’)
