Description

Lindsey Davis has seen off all her competitors to become the unassailable market leader in the crime in Ancient Rome genre . . . Davis s squalid, vibrant Rome is as pleasurable as ever - Guardian

For fans of crime fiction set in the ancient world, this one is not to be missed - Booklist

Private investigator Flavia Albia is always drawn to an intriguing puzzle - even if it is put to her by her new husband s hostile ex-wife.

On the Quirinal Hill, a young girl named Clodia has died, apparently poisoned with a love potion. Only one person could have supplied such a thing: a local witch who goes by the name of Pandora, whose trade in herbal beauty products is hiding something far more sinister.

The supposedly sweet air of the Quirinal is masking the stench of loose morality, casual betrayal and even gangland conflict and, when a friend of her own is murdered, Albia determines to expose as much of this local sickness as she can - beginning with the truth about Clodia s death.

****************

Praise for Lindsey Davis and the Flavia Albia series

Davis s prose is a lively joy, and Flavia s Rome is sinister and gloriously real
The Times on Sunday

Davis s books crackle with wit and knowledge . . . She has the happy knack of making the reader feel entirely immersed in Rome

About the Author

Historical novelist Lindsey Davis is best known for her novels set in Ancient Rome, including the much-loved Marcus Didius Falco series, although she has also written about the English Civil War, including in 2014 A Cruel Fate, a book for the Quick Reads literacy initiative. Her examination of the paranoid reign of the roman emperor Domitian began with Master and God, a standalone novel, leading to her new series about Flavia Albia, set in that dark period.

Her books are translated and have been dramatized on BBC Radio 4. Her many awards include the Premio Colosseo (from the city of Rome) and the Crime Writers Cartier Diamond Dagger for lifetime achievement. Most recently she was the inaugural winner of the Barcino (Barcelona) International Historical Novel Prize.
