In this sensational new novel in her "top-drawer series"
(Newsday), Lindsey Davis sets her Roman detective,
Marcus Didius Falco, on the wild streets of London, where
he'll need both his sharp wit and sharpened sword to
survive in the city along the Thamesis...
THE JUPITER MYTH
Stuck in the Roman outpost of Londinium, Marcus Didius
Falco is ready to pack up his family and go home...until
the corpse of a nobleman turns up, head down, in a well
behind a local tavern. The dead man turns out to be a close
friend of the king and suddenly Falco has a murder case to
solve before he can get out of town. Taking on the British
tradition of the pub crawl, he soon gets a major hangover-
along with a tip that the victim had dealings with
dangerous gangsters. Now hot on the trail of the killer,
Falco delves deeper into the city's demimonde and winds up
in an arena full of female gladiators. Here, among outcasts
and rogues, Falco discovers comradeship, honor...and, with
his own life hanging in the balance, someone willing to die
for a friend.
