The high-born woman he fell in love with, Helena Justina, has broken off their stormy, impossible affair. So when Emperor Vespasian assigns Falco a task that will take him out of Rome, he can't wait. Disguised as vacationer in the company of his comrade Petronius Longus, captain of the Aventine Watch, Falco travels south to Neapolis, Capreae and Pompeii where he discovers a conspiracy involving the Egyptian grain shipment to Rome. He also stumbles across Helena Justina, conveniently also on a trip out of town, who might, unwittingly, be enmeshed in this dangerous, treasonous scheme. <br>Lindsey Davis' <i>Shadows in Bronze </i>is historical mystery at its best.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Davis mixes Modern sensibility [and] fascinating historical detail." --<i>Chicago Tribune</i> <p/>"Knockabout adventure." --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i> <p/>"Davis makes Rome live." --<i>Washington Post Book World</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Lindsey Davis</b> was born and raised in Birmingham, England.
