Am 16. Oktober 2017 um 14.58 Uhr wird Daphne Caruana Galizia, die bekannteste Investigativjournalistin Maltas, durch eine Autobombe getötet. Der Mord erschüttert die Welt. Ihre erstmals in diesem Buch zusammengetragenen Einzeltexte ergeben ein erschreckendes Gesamtbild. Caruana Galizia begreift als eine der Ersten, wie sich ihr Land Malta unter Beteiligung höchster Regierungskreise in ein Epizentrum der internationalen Geldwäsche wandelt. Die Journalistin belegt dies in ihren Artikeln und Blog-Einträgen und wird zur Zielscheibe von mächtigen Gegnern. Trotz Diffamierungskampagnen, Drohungen und tätlicher Gewalt recherchiert sie weiter, bis sie am 16. Oktober 2017 in der Nähe ihres Hauses einem Attentat zum Opfer fällt. Als Caruana Galizia ermordet wurde, schrieb sie an einem Buch, das sie nie vollendete. Ihre drei Söhne, Andrew, Matthew und Paul, haben nun die einzelnen Mosaiksteine zu einem Gesamtbild zusammengestellt. Sie haben zu Ende gebracht, was ihre Mutter begonnen hatte.
