Renowned British journalist John Sweeney has co-authored a book on the assassination of Maltese journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia.

Sweeney, along with La Republicca editor Carlo Bonini and Maltese journalist-blogger Manuel Delia, will release ‘Murder on the Malta Express’ on 14th October, two days before the two-year anniversary of Caruana Galizia’s murder.

The book is 105,000 words long and is expected to include both background about the events preceding and following her murder, as well as research and interviews. Its title is of course an allusion to Agatha Christie’s famous detective novel ‘Murder On The Orient Express’, a film adaptation of which was recently shot in Malta.
