In first century A.D. Rome, during the reign of Vespasian,
Marcus Didius Falco works as a private "informer," ferreting
out hidden truths and bringing villains to ground. But even
informers take vacations with their wives, so Falco and his
wife, Helena Justina, with their two young children and
others in tow, travel to Alexandria, Egypt. But they aren't
there long before Falco finds himself in the midst of
nefarious doings -- when the Head Librarian of the
world-famous library is found dead under suspicious
circumstances, in his office with the door locked from inside.
Falco quickly finds himself on the trail for dodgy doings,
malfeasance, deadly professional rivalries, more bodies, and
the lowest of the low - book thieves! As the bodies continue
to pile up, it's up to Falco to untangle this horrible mess
before the killer begins to strike closer to home.
