'Another redolent dip into corruption in Vespasian's Rome. . . original and delightful' Sunday Times'Fast-moving, funny and full of atmosphere' Mail on Sunday_________________________MARRY IN HASTE. DIE FOR THE MONEY.Things are going well for Marcus Didius Falco, ancient Rome's investigator: he hates sharing a cell with a rodent, although being bailed by his old mother is almost as embarrassing; his highborn girlfriend can't decide if she wants him and Titus Caesar's reward for past services is disappointing to say the least.Hoping for a better life, or at least a better apartment, he takes on new clients.On the elegant slopes of the Pincian Hill, three freedmen with two flashy wives are under siege by a clever redhead. Severina Zotica has a foul-mouthed parrot, an odd connection with a snake dancer - and a very suspicious past.As he pursues this flame-haired fortune-hunter, Falco finds himself beset by violent rent-racketeers, poisoners, and women without consciences who have dangerous designs on him. . ._________________________Readers Love Lindsey Davis: 'Exceptionally well crafted - keeps you guessing right until the end''Lindsey Davis never fails!' 'I started reading it the moment it arrived, and finished it by the same evening. Just Brilliant!' 'There are not adjectives fulsome enough to describe how good these books are'
