The Girl From Malta

by Fergus Hume

During a voyage from Australia to Britain, Ronald Monteith is fascinated by fellow-traveller, Lionel Ventin.

When Ventin is found stabbed to death in his cabin, Monteith vows to find the killer. But he begins to regret his decision, when suspicion gradually attaches itself to the girl with whom he has fallen in love.
