Publisher's Summary

I was the new boy, so they saddled me with the worst jobs. Rome, AD 71. Against his better judgement, Falco secretly disposes of a decayed corpse for the Emperor Vespasian, then heads for the beautiful Bay of Naples with his best friend Petronius. He conveniently forgets to mention to his companion that this will be no holiday. They have been sent to investigate the murderous members of a failed coup, now sunning themselves in luxurious villas and on fancy yachts.

The idyllic seaside location further complicates his seemingly doomed romance with Helena Justina. The deeper he probes, the more it seems Helena is inextricably connected to the elite plotters, in ways that the smitten Falco cannot bear to contemplate.

Mystery set in Ancient Rome

Things move along pretty slowly at first as the author sets the scene. There is lots of direct and indirect information on life in Rome 2000 years ago (just after Nero). It’s all handled I. A very matter of fact way that adds to the story. The plot is not too complicated but moves along well. I will read more books by this author.
