<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Rome, AD 71. Marcus Didius Falco is deperate to leave the notorious Lautumiae prison - though being bailed out by his <i>mother</i> is a slight indignity...</p><p>Things go from bad to worse though when a group of nouveau riche ex-slaves hire him to outwit a fortune-hunting redhead, whose husbands have a habit of dying accidently, leaving him up against a female contortionist, her extra-friendly snake, indigestible cakes and rent racketeers. And, all the while, trying to lure Helena Justina to live with him, a dangerous proposition given the notorius instability of Roman real estate. In a case of murder as complicated as he ever faced, this Lindsey Davis' classic tale <i>Venus in Copper </i>shows Falco at his very finest.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Period details, humor and Falco's modern sensibility add up to another sterling performance from Davis." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i></p><p>"Falco's good-humored but intelligent narration provides a fascinating and authentic re-creation of a Rome bustling with activity... A wonderful escape." --<i>Library Journal</i></p><p>"Intriguing characters abound in this skillfully written, Chandleresque mystery that gives readers a peek at the seamy side of life in first-century Rome." --<i>School Library Journal</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.
