A BODY IN THE BATHHOUSE by LINDSEY DAVIS
|
SummaryThe thirteenth whodunnit featuring Marcus Didius Falco --
ancient Rome's Philip Marlowe -- set against the very real
backdrop of the Roman Palace at Fishbourne in Britain. Falco and Helena have escaped Helena's expensive mistake on
the Janiculan Hill and house-swapped with Falco's father.
But they've left behind a nasty surprise. There's a corpse
in the newly completed bathhouse and the contractors,
Gloccus and Cotta, have fled to Britain. As it happens,
Britain is currently Falco's best employment opportunity.
Frontinus, Governor of the Isle, wants Falco to sort out
some problems he has with a huge Imperial building project
on the south coast. Is it there that Gloccus and Cotta have
fled? With his burgeoning family in tow, Falco sets out to
the land he swore he would never visit again, not knowing
that a string of murders and building site politics await
him.
