WHAT THE ORACLE KNOWS COULD KILL
THEM...
It's A.D. 76 during the reign of Vespasian, and
Marcus Didius Falco, a Roman "informer," has achieved much
in his life. He's joined the equestrian rank, allowing him
to marry Helena Justina, the Senator's beloved daughter. But
now he's just been hired to undergo a dangerous mission: to
pry his brother-in-law Aulus, a scholar on the way to study
in Athens, away from a murder investigation involving two
dead women at the ancient site of the Olympic Games.
Traveling to Greece under the guise of being tourists, Falco
and Helena visit the country's classic sites in order to
investigate the suspicious goings-on and shady dealings of
Seven Sights, a fly-by-night travel agency. What begins as a
risky expedition becomes sinister when Aulus, too, goes
missing in what becomes Falco's most complex and high-stakes
case yet.
