  • Summary

  • Daphne Caruana Galizia spent her career uncovering corruption at the highest levels of politics on the Mediterranean island of Malta. As an investigative journalist in this tiny, tightly-knit country her surname became redundant – she was known simply as Daphne. She stood out as a lone voice in an increasingly hostile environment. She endured arson attacks and arrests, until October 2017, when she was murdered in a car bomb attack.


    In this series, her son Paul Caruana Galizia, returns home to make sense of what led to his mother’s murder. But within a day of returning, events take an unexpected and momentous turn that will change the course of the murder investigation and Malta

    It is a little over two years since Daphne Caruana Galizia, Malta’s pre-eminent investigative journalist, died in a car bomb, and the shock is still being felt. In an EU member country, how was such a political assassination even possible? How closely implicated in the plot were high-ranking members of the government and business?


    The questions only deepened as it began to appear that the people behind the murder might get away with it. Daphne’s son Paul Caruana Galizia is a reporter at Tortoise. Amidst growing uncertainty about whether justice would ever be done, he returned to Malta late last year to investigate.
