Mystery Historical | Mystery
In the first century A.D., when gladiators as popular as
today's WCW champs fought to the death in the Colosseum,
all of Rome cheered. Today we cheer too every time Lindsey
Davis makes this ancient world come alive. Her newest novel
in the series featuring Marcus Didius Falco puts the tough
private eye in the lions' den to investigate an
extraordinary case of murder... TWO FOR THE LIONS Nothing's certain except death and taxes. Catching tax
evaders for the Emperor Vespasian looks like a plum
position for Marcus Didius Falco, who has teamed up with
his old boss, Anacrites, the crotchety chief spy of Rome.
Soon, however, Falco is bogged down in bureaucracy, stuck
at his stylus, and longing for a good murder to investigate. He gets one when someone kills Leonidas, the Empire's
official executioner. Feared by plebeians and citizens
alike, Leonidas administered justice with a swift, sure
blow. Then he ate the offender. Now this king of beasts
lies stabbed to death in his cage. Sniffing around for clues, Falco is soon led into the
rowdy, decadent world of gladiators and bestiarii, fighters
who specialize in contests against animals. Falco finds
that it's dark and dangerous in the tunnels under the arena-
-and even blacker in the desperate souls of those who must
kill or be killed each time the games begin. Yet no one has
a motive for slaughtering a lion after hours. The unexpected slaying of the most glamorous gladiator in
the city is another matter. Now Falco has a high-profile crime to handle--and a
domestic crisis brewing. His lover, the patrician Helena,
reports that her disgraced brother needs help in Tripoli.
Since Africa may well be the missing link between the
murders of man and beast, Falco is quickly en route to
those far shores--and heading toward a dangerous rendezvous
with the raging lions that reside in the human heart, and
one particular person who stalks his fellow man...
Marcus Didius Falco
