  Synopsis Details Reviews  
Falco and Helena hear that a young girl and a newly-wed woman, both Roman visitors, have been murdered at Olympia. The authorities will not investigate properly, so Falco steps in. After making himself unwelcome at the hidebound sanctuary, he soon finds himself up against Seven Sights, its absentee tour-guide and its mixed bunch of customers, some of whom have things to hide. The search for culture is far from genteel - and it can be very dangerous. Both the bridegroom and Helena's brother go missing in the birthplace of myth, as Falco and Helena struggle with a case that may contain worse features than any they have dealt with yet..."Evocative...Reassuringly modern...It is little wonder that so many find it pleasant and undemanding to go on holiday with this version of Philip Marlowe in a toga". ("Times Literary Supplement"). "Surely the best historical detective in the business". ("Daily Express"). Christian Rodska reads Lindsey Davis' bestselling Marcus Didius Falco novel - complete and unabridged.
