In first century A.D. Rome, during the reign of Vespasian, Marcus
Didius Falco works as a private “informer,” often for the emperor,
ferreting out hidden truths and bringing villains to ground. But
even informers take vacations with their wives, so in A.D. 77,
Falco and his wife, Helena Justina, with others in tow, travel to
Alexandria, Egypt. But they aren’t there long before Falco finds
himself in the midst of nefarious doings—when the Librarian of
the great library is found dead, under suspicious circumstances.
Falco quickly finds himself on the trail of dodgy doings,
malfeasance, deadly professional rivalry, more bodies and
the lowest of the low—book thieves! As the bodies pile up,
it’s up to Falco to untangle this horrible mess and restore order
to a disordered universe.
