Mystery Historical | Mystery

Lindsey Davis is the internationally bestselling author who "Makes Rome Live" (Washington Post Book World). Funny, astute, and hardboiled, her series detective, Marcus Didius Falco, now ventures into a new arena, the publishing world of A.D. 74, to prove that ars longa, vita brevis—and murder is timeless.

ODE TO A BANKER

Can a tough detective possess the soul of a poet? After a public reading brings him rousing applause, Falco receives an offer to have his work published. But his ego takes a beating when the banker Chrysippus demands payment for putting the verse on papyrus. Hell hath no fury like an author scorned, and when Chrysippus turns up murdered in the library, no less, it's poetic justice. Appointed the official investigator, Falco's soon up to his stylus in outraged writers and shifty bankers. Now it's time to employ his real talents: deducing the killer from an assembly of suspects...in a classic whodunit that is Lindsey Davis's most satisfying mystery yet.
