The Graveyard of the Hesperides : Flavia Albia 4 (Falco: The New Generation) Hardback
by Lindsey Davis
Part of the Flavia Albia series
Hardback
Description

Five more skeletons are discovered. Despite the fact that nobody seems to know or care who died, violent attempts are made to stop her enquiries. Soon Albia is exploring the world of Roman streetlife, where bars are brothels, workers lead brutal lives, foreigners are muscling in on the gambling syndicates, and extortion is commonplace.
What's more there's little time to solve the mystery before the wedding day when Albia is expected to show Rome that her affair with Manlius is a much more than a casual fling.
