It's 1975 in London, and Emma Stonehouse is cruising towards the end of her first year of studying politics in London, to be followed by a summer of parties, protests and music. She's part of a radical political group, and she means to prove she's got the guts to be a serious activist. Emma's at loggerheads with her dad Ralph, a senior intelligence bureaucrat in Whitehall, and she's had enough of home life in genteel Surrey.
But Ralph is being blackmailed by colleague Donald Waters. Tortured by his dirty little secret, he has shut Emma and his wife Susan out of his life. When Emma makes her token act of political insurrection, she has no idea of the possible implications: Ralph's career implodes, and a clandestine sting operation is thrown into peril. Ralph is packed off to the family holiday home in Malta, ostensibly to recover from a breakdown.
Meanwhile, Egyptian-Armenian exile Pierre Farag is hired to salvage the operation, which involves gun running from Libya to the Provisional IRA. He's languishing in London with his wife Zouzou having fled Cairo after a failed espionage operation engineered by Donald Waters. Pierre will take on the role of enigmatic arms dealer Cornelius Lamine to penetrate Colonel Gaddafi's stronghold.
The action moves to a clapped-out coastal steamer en route from Malta to Libya. As the sting operation stumbles from disaster to catastrophe, Emma, Ralph and Pierre are flung into a maelstrom of deception and mortal danger.
Inspired by the real-life story of arms smuggling from Libya to the Provisional IRA in the seventies, Bury me in Valletta has enough quirky twists to delight readers of Kate Quinn, Philip Kerr, and Lara Prescott.
Stuart's latest novel The True History of Jude is a genre-defying work that blends a dystopian thriller with a coming of age tale and a time-shift love story.
His Siranoush Trilogy includes the novels Cairo Mon Amour, Bury me in Valletta, and The Sunset Assassin. The three stories are stand-alone episodes in the tribulations of reluctant British spies Pierre Farag and his wife Zouzou Paris. The couple are exiled from Cairo to London in 1973, and then to Malta in 1975, ending their quest for freedom and anonymity in the northern Australian tropics in 1978.
In Stuart's An Englishman's Guide to Infidelity, a respectable Home Counties couple dabble in petty crime as they try to enliven a failing marriage. But a figure from the past tips them into a double murder plot. Could they really be killers?
Stuart was formerly a Professor of Linguistics and a Pro Vice Chancellor at Western Sydney University. He has published numerous books, chapters and research articles in the areas of translation studies and Arabic linguistics. Stuart holds the title of Emeritus Professor.
Born in London, Stuart has lived in Sydney since the seventies.
