The Emerald tablet Martin Jones

This is the third book in the George Melville Mystery series and as such sees our eponymous hero Melville, now a fully-fledged operative working for SIS (MI6) embark on his first full mission under the guidance and not so careful eye of hapless spy and team leader, Mad Dog. Once again the story embraces the murky world of pre-second world war espionage, and moves from underneath a quaint church in Ely, to the Greek islands, to Paris, Rome and Palestine, and sees Melville, having been made team leader, face a stark choice of supporting his team and his country, or ensuring his beloved wife and child are kept alive. From the chaotic violence of pre-war Palestine, to the cold-hearted world of espionage and double agents, the team once again face adventure and dangers as they search for the Emerald Tablet, and encounter once again, A George Melville Mystery.
