Four students vanish during a sunrise drive to Malta’s picturesque Popeye Village. Their car is found torched on an isolated road, turning the quiet island into the epicenter of a chilling mystery. For Hanna Myers, the disappearance of her daughter Sophie shatters her world. Together with her partner, Rob Sharp—a semi-retired detective working on high-profile cases in Malta—harsh truths come to light. Kasa, a recruiter for international students studying in Malta, harbors a connection that links the crime to a shadowy force capable of unleashing unspeakable violence. As time runs out, the search for the missing students becomes a race against an unseen enemy. Betrayal lurks in every corner, and the line between ally and adversary blurs. In a world where power silences justice and desperation knows no bounds, The Language Student will keep you questioning everyone—and everything—until the final, heart-stopping twist.
