Opis

"The Silver Pigs" is the firstbook in Lindsey Davis' bestselling Falco series.
Rome. AD 70. Private eye Marcus Didius Falco knows his way around the eternal city. He can handle the muggers, the police and most of the girls. But one fresh sixteen-year-old, Sosia Camillina, finds him a case no Roman should be getting his nose into. Some friends, Romans and countrymen are doing a highly profitable, if highly illegal, trade in silver ingots or pigs. For Falco it's the start of a murderous trail that leads far beyond the seven hills to a godforsaken land called Britain, to Emperor Vespasian himself, and to Helena Justina a lady leagues out of Falco s class."
