Venus In Copper - first UK edition
by Lindsey Davis - signed
Third book in the Marcus Didius "Falco" series, a detective story set in ancient Rome, August to September A.D.71.
Even a short spell in the horrific rat-infested Lautumiae Prison can't prepare
Falco for the rent racketeers, female contortionists, leather-clad bodyguard,
hunting dogs and fatal poisonings he suddenly finds himself up against. Falco is asked by relatives of a wealthy real estate developer, Hortensius, to check into the background of a woman named Severina to whom he is engaged.
But Hortensius is poisoned, and the investigation takes an unexpected turn.
