Following his debut novel Sliema Wives, Gerard James Borg is back with a new and fast-paced novel based on Maltese realities that the author promises should be “intriguing and scandalous, sure to keep you turning pages… secrets are about to be revealed”.

Set around the luxurious surroundings of Madliena, the author takes the readers on a ride in and out of the lavish bedrooms of the rich and powerful. The story revolves around three manipulative men and their one night with a beautiful blonde, which triggers a series of complications.

“One word of warning. If you’re easily shocked, don’t open this book. It’s all about revenge, murder, sex, greed, power and infidelity in this darkly erotic world of the Maltese elite,” the author says. “It’s a mix of local culture and gossip, with the novel also referring to known places, politicians and other public figures.”

The author adds that the pages hold a surprise for fans of Sliema Wives, with one of the leading characters staging a return.

Madliena Married Men is published by Midsea books and is available from book stores and online.
