This will be published initially in hardback (good news for libraries), in July, with a paperback version at £10 to follow in September. I have heard from the German translator that she is working on 'Ode to a Banker' – good news for German readers who are anxiously waiting for the next book. A new contract for 'The Silver Pigs' is being negotiated for Korea, I'm delighted to say.

   Extractions: was born and brought up in Birmingham, read English at Oxford, then joined the civil service. After thirteen years, a novel I had written to cheer myself up was runner-up for the Georgette Heyer Historical Novel Prize, which encouraged me to leave my job and try to become a writer. I was accepted for the government's Enterprise Allowance Scheme, and thereafter classified as a Small Business, although it took years of struggle to achieve success. I had romantic serials commissioned for Woman's Realm, then changed to writing about the Romans with The Course of Honour, the remarkable true love story of the Emperor Vespasian and his mistress Antonia Caenis. My research into imperial Rome then inspired The Silver Pigs, the first in the Falco series about a Roman informer in the AD70s, which has now attracted a devoted readership. The Silver Pigs won the Authors' Club Best First Novel for 1989, and I was awarded the CWA Dagger in the Library (for the author "whose work has given most pleasure") in 1995. An unusual thrill for a crime novelist came when I was invited to be Honorary President of the UK Classical Association in 1997/8, as a result of which Falco achieved the rare distinction of appearing in a Times Leader column! My books are published in the UK and US, and translated into many other languages. I write occasional short stories and articles, and I review books for The Gcontested on grounds of improbability). A period of relative prosperity appears to have followed, during which he may have dabbled with literary pursuits at the same time as he took up with the Camillus brothers, relatives of his wife; they were subsequently notorious for political intrigue.

   Extractions: Home Ex Libris Authors : Lindsey Davis well-informed about the empire Have you seen our weblog or our monthly book review? Davis is the author of the Marcus Didius Falco mysteries, set in the Roman Empire in the days of Emperor Vespasian (circa AD 70). Falco is a Roman citizen; he's also a member of the lowest class, and a paid informer to boot, all of which should make him socially untouchable. He investigates stolen art, straying spouses, missing persons, and the occasional job for his occasional patron, the emperor himself. His missions take him all over Rome, and to the farthest corners of the Empire: Britain, Germany, North Africa, and the Middle East. Falco is surrounded by an excellent cast of continuing characters: his old army buddy, Petronius Longus, now an officer of the "vigiles", a sort of combined police and fire department; Helena Justina, daughter of Senator Camillus Verus, Falco's beloved; Falco's extended family, beginning with his bossy mother and his absent father; spiteful Anacrites, the chief spy; Thalia the snake dancer; and a host of others. The series is written in chronological order, each book picking up the thread of the previous, and would likely be best read that way. I did the opposite, starting with a book right in the middle and picking up the other volumes as I could find them. It worked out all right; Davis is a dab hand at conveying the important background material from the previous books without being obvious about it, and without giving anything important away.

It seems Sosia is on the lam from a couple of street toughs and after a quick and dirty rescue, PI Falco wants to know why. Falco finds out that Sosia, the niece of a highly placed senator, holds the key to a stockpile of silver pigs - ingots intended for no good use. Hoping for future favors from Sosia's powerful uncle, Falco embarks on an intricate case of smuggling, murder, and treason that reaches into the palace itself. And if he does not tread lightly, the treacherous puzzle of the silver pigs could buy him a one-way ticket to his own funeral pyre....

    Extractions: The whodunnit with a historical setting has been around for a long time, but it received a new slant with the publication of Lindsey Davis’s first book, The Silver Pigs . In her investigator, Marcus Didius Falco, she had created a Philip Marlowe for Ancient Rome. His wise cracking manner, and the variety of 1st-century backgrounds into which he is thrown, have proved a potent combination. The attraction of the books lies in the seediness of their settings, the wickedness of their villains and the opportunities they offer for readers to find modern parallels. Their success can be measured by the number of inferior imitations they have spawned. Lindsey Davis is now one of that small elite of crime writers whose hardbacks make it into The Sunday Times bestsellers list. Return to 100 Masters of Crime

    http://dannyreviews.com/h/Arms_of_Nemesis.html
    
    Extractions: Subjects Titles Authors ... Latest Pan Books 1990 Ballantine Books 1992 A book review by Danny Yee The Silver Pigs and Arms of Nemesis are both mystery novels set in ancient Rome. The Silver Pigs is a fast-paced political and underworld thriller whose hero is one Marcus Didius Falco, a private informer tracking down a conspiracy against Vespasian in 70 A.D. Arms of Nemesis is a more classical murder mystery set during the Spartacist revolt in 70 B.C., with Crassus as one of the main characters. Both Davis and Saylor write cleanly and engagingly but, while they have done their historical research accurately enough, neither of them really shines as a historical novelist; the setting is used more for effect than anything else, and the dialogue, plotting and characterisation could just as well be set in 20th century London. The Silver Pigs and Arms of Nemesis will appeal to devotees of detective fiction rather than lovers of historical novels. Both novels are part of an ongoing series, so there is more available for those who enjoy these. 30 June 1994 Steven Saylor - Catilina's Riddle
