Scandal Takes a Holiday - first UK edition
by Lindsey Davis - signed
The 16th of Lindsey Davis's fluent, funny Roman thrillers, Scandal Takes a
Holiday puts official informer Falco to work searching for a missing journalist
in the bustle of Rome's port, Ostia. As everyone keeps telling Falco, there are
no pirates any more--the emperors put a stop to them for good--and yet somehow
the old pirate havens of Illyria and Cilicia are just as prosperous as ever and
rich, retired old men from both regions seem to fetch up in Ostia, along with
gangsters, kidnappers and assassins.
Book has black boards with the spine stamped in gold. Jacket is fine, mylar
protected, price-intact at £16.99.
