Extractions: A B C D ... Start Werke Marcus Didius Falco, a Roman informer in 70AD, is standing in the Forum one very hot day, aiming to become a classic gumshoe in the Ancient World genre of mystery fiction At this early point in his career, he has not only to make his way in the snobbish and dangerous milieu of Vespasians Rome, but to overcome the prejudice amongst publishers, booksellers and readers who are wary of historical novels and off-beat settings. Our hero takes himself to Britain; there the weather is filthy, the natives are restless, the women are angry, and his mission turns into a nightmare from which he only narrowly escapes alive. Along the way he meets brutes, traitors, his mother, sellers of seedy snacks, a blonde young lady who thinks hes wonderful, the Emperor and Helena Justina, the very spirited daughter of senator Camillus Verus. Our hero, having discovered true love, has enough to worry him even before shadowy figures glimpsed late at night and a series of fatal accidents convince Falco and the Emperor that traitors are still conspiring and must be brought to book. Mourning Helena, who seems to want to abandon him, Falco sets off on a ramble through the Roman holiday spots, acquiring a goat on the Toe of Italy and accompanied around the Bay of Naples by his best friend Petronius a member of the official police force who has somehow won himself a reputation as a respectable family man.

Things get out of hand as usual. The event is taken over by Aurelius Chrysippus, a wealthy Greek banker and patron to a group of struggling writers, who offers to publish Falco's work - a golden opportunity that rapidly palls. A visit to the Chrysippus scriptorium implicates him in a gruesome literary murder so when Petronius Longus, the over-worked vigiles enquiry chief, commissions him to investigate, Falco is forced to accept. He and Helena Justina are in trouble at home too: while she continues her feud with the bath-house contractors, Falco's rascally father suffers a devastating personal blow; his widowed sister Maia is besieged by Anacrites, the dangerous Chief Spy; his mother is the subject of some scandalous gossip; and Nux, his dog, is expecting pups any day. Lindsey Davis' twelfth Falco novel wittily explores Roman publishing and banking, two fields with striking contemporary resonance and rich sources of satire. The trail leads from the jealousies of authorship and the mire of patronage, to the darker financial world, where default can have fatal consequences...

Extractions: This is the love story of the Emperor Vespasian and his mistress, Antonia Caenis. Ancient Rome's most turbulent period - the reigns of Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, Nero, and the Year of the Four Emperors - is encapsulated in this novel which tells the sweeping story of the ascendancy of the Emperor Vespasian, the impecunious son of a provincial senator who finally brought peace to Rome after years of strife. The story is seen through the eyes of Caenis, a woman slave working as a secretary for Antonia, Claudius' mother. She is a small footnote in the accounts of Roman historians, but here she is beautifully realised as the woman who exerted the greatest influence on the future Emperor. As their strange and forbidden romance blossoms, Caenis finds herself involved in the discovery of Sejanus' plot against Tiberius, while Vespasian takes his first steps towards what she believes will be a glorious career. Years pass, yet they survive both prejudice and violent political events. Then Vespasian occupies a central role in the climactic struggle for power - bringing hope for Rome, but only despair for the woman who has loved him for so long.

http://www.mysteryguide.com/bkDavisMars.html

Extractions: REVIEW Rating: 2 (Mediocre) M ost mysteries set in Ancient Rome have complicated political plots, which reflect the complicated political life of the times. This is one of the most convoluted; to the point where the author hardly seems in control of it at times. It's hardly a mystery at all, since the crimes do not lie at the center of the story and Falco never really figures anything out by cogitation events just unravel themselves while our hero is suspicious of everyone else's possible motivations. The critics love this series because the author has a charming writing style and a real knack for limning colorful characters (even the most minor); but in this outing, multiple subplots do not make up for the lack of a single compelling story.

http://www.bestsellersworld.com/mysteries-davis.htm

Extractions: When street-smart Marcus Didius Falco is coerced into a public reading of his satires, he couldn't feel worse. Yet his scribbling is met with rousing applause...and an offer by Chrysippus, esteemed banker, patron of the arts, and scroll merchant, to publish his work. Et tu, Brute! A euphoric Falco then discovers that Chrysippus expects to be paid for putting the budding author's work on papyrus. Falco is no Horace, but he has his pride. His ensuing altercation with the publisher makes him a suspect when Chyrsippus is found brutally murdered-a classic body in the library. Fortunately Falco has an alibi, and thanks to his friends in the Watch, he also lands the job as the homicide's official investigator. TWO FOR THE LIONS

Thoughts On Ode To A Banker By Lindsey Davis
Thoughts On Ode To A Banker. lindsey davis. Ode to a Banker could be thebook that loses me friends and makes financial institutions bar me
http://www.crimetime.co.uk/features/lindseydavis.html

Extractions: Thoughts On Ode To A Banker Thoughts On Ode To A Banker Lindsey Davis Ode to a Banker could be the book that loses me friends and makes financial institutions bar me... It's about Roman banking (which had increasing topicality as I wrote it and issues of bank/customer relations in the modern world came more and more into the press) and about publishing, writing, and even reading. There is a classic structure, starting from a body in a library and ending with a confrontation scene, back in the library, where the detective figure (Falco) goes through all his evidence and then nails the villain. Meanwhile the 'soap opera' among his friends and family continues with incest, punch-ups, puppies and all the usual trappings of life. One's influences are assimilated - and for that reason, I hate talking about them. It tends to suggest that only a few named authors matter in a lifetime of reading. Yes, I read Rosemary Sutcliff and Robert Graves (aha! The Romans) but I also went through large numbers of historical novels. Dorothy Dunnett probably taught me most about writing in a vivid, detailed way with flamboyant use of vocabulary. Then my childhood reading included Biggles, Hornblower, Noel Streatfeild (ballet and skating stories), 1066 and All That, not to mention various things including knitting patterns that do actually influence the person I am, and the writer I am today. My interest in detective stories probably owes most to the radio - dear old Saturday Night Theatre.

Extractions: When I first started writing, 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 inspired The Silver Pigs , the first book in a series about Marcus Didius Falco, a Roman informer in the AD70s, which has now attracted a devoted readership. 2002 sees publication of The Jupiter Myth , the 14th Falco mystery, together with the paperback of A Body in the Bath House. 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. More recently, I was thrilled to be the first winner of the new Ellis Peters Historical Dagger and a Sherlock Award to Falco for the Best Comic Detective of 1999.
