Bøger i Marcus Didius Falco serien

`Rats are always bigger than you expect¿¿Falco, ancient Rome¿s hangdog investigator, hates sharing a cell with a rodent ¿ though being bailed by his old mother is almost as embarrassing. His high-born girlfriend can¿t decide if she wants him, and Titus Caesar¿s reward for past services is a wet fish. Hoping for a better life, or at least a better apartment, he takes on new clients.On the elegant slopes of the Pincian Hill, three nouveau riche freedmen with two flashy wives are under siege by a clever redhead. Severina Zotica has a foul-mouthed parrot, an odd connection with a snake dancer ¿ and a very suspicious past. As he pursues this flame-haired fortune-hunter, Falco finds himself beset by violent rent-racketeers, poisoners and women without consciences who have dangerous designs on him ¿
