Summary
Didius Falco, first-century detective, is confronting Roman legal forces that may just destroy him--and his family. Fresh from a trip to far-flung Londinium in Britain, Falco needs to re-establish his presence in Rome. A minor role in the trial of… a senator entangles him in the machinations of two powerful lawyers. The senator is convicted but then dies, apparently by suicide. It may have been a legal move to protect his heirs; Falco is hired to prove it was murder. As he shows off his talents in the role of advocate, Falco exposes himself to a tangle of upper-class secrets and powerful elements in Rome's legal hierarchy that may have unintended--if not fatal--consequences. Sequel to "The Jupiter myth", followed by "Scandal takes a holiday". 2016.
