As a former police officer, Attard has conducted extensive research on crime in Malta and Gozo and has published several books about these matters.
His talk will cover the dark history of Floriana, the former site of public hangings, bank robberies and also of prostitution.
Attard will delve into the case of the baby abandoned in the parish church, of the policeman accused of murdering his wife and of the infamous theft of the gold chandelier, as well as other notable episodes.
The talk will be held in Maltese. All are welcome to attend and to reserve a place in the hall.
