In vino veritas. But in the water supply of Rome, horror, as Marcus Didius Falco is about to find out. Sharing an ewer of Spanish red with his old

friend and new partner Petronius Longus, Falco is on the spot when a man cleaning the local fountain makes a gruesome discovery: a human hand.

Small and evidently female, the hand suggests its owner met a terrifying fate. Naturally, Falco and Petro, formerly of the Vigiles, want to

seize on it as their first big case. The officials of Rome, however, prefer to hush up the incident, since a population that riots at the

drop of a toga might run wild if body parts are polluting their drinking water. Soon other delicate, dismembered hands are being found in

Rome's two hundred miles of aqueduct. Now aided, inspired, and given critical clues by his wife, Helena, Falco & Partner are ready to buck

the status quo and even butt heads with Falco's old boss, Chief Spy Anacrites, to crack the case. But O, Hades! The duo suspects a serial

killer is at large, linked to public festivals, and likely to strike again at the upcoming Roman Games. Even a detective as astute as Falco

may not spot a twisted mind in a crowd of 250,000. And if Falco loses this race with time, another pretty victim will make a deadly splash...
