HIS PLACE ON
EARTH
Accomplished young
artist Hugo Albyvendie, grandson of the late Enrico, leads a quiet
life on the Mediterranean island of Malta. Suddenly propelled into the
international world of big business, he begins to see modern life from
a new perspective. He observes that obsessions with sex and money
appear to rule many lives in a dysfunctional society.
Nor is his own
love life plain sailing. Maryam, a beautiful Spanish lawyer, plays
hard to get, while Nadia, a stunning Polish nymphomaniac, has him at
her mercy.
Hugo appears to
live the life of most menīs dreams, but all is not well. A ruthless
business rival is out to ruin his plans and will stop at nothing,
including murder.
The Albyvendie
family have had more than their fair share of success and tragedy in
the twentieth century. Then a new millennium dawns, but the evil in
this old world is ever-present. . . .
His Place on
Earth is
Colin Peck's fourth novel in the saga of the Albyvenie family.
Previously published are: Enrico Albyvendie, Caribbean Storm,
and Uncle Samīs Gal.
