Enemies at home - Lindsey Davis

We first met Flavia Albia, Falco's feisty adopted daughter, in The Ides of April.
Albia is a remarkable woman in what is very much a man's world: young,
widowed and fiercely independent, she lives alone on the Aventine Hill
in Rome and makes a good living as a hired investigator. An outsider in
more ways than one, Albia has unique insight into life in ancient Rome,
and she puts it to good use going places no man could go, and asking
questions no man could ask.

Even as the dust settles from her
last case, Albia finds herself once again drawn into a web of lies and
intrigue. Two mysterious deaths at a local villa may be murder and, as
the household slaves are implicated, Albia is once again forced to
involve herself. Her fight is not just for truth and justice, however;
this time, she's also battling for the very lives of people who can't
fight for themselves.

Enemies at Home presents Ancient
Rome as only Lindsey Davis can, offering wit,
intrigue, action and the
further adventures of a brilliant new heroine who promises to be as
celebrated as Marcus Didius Falco and Helena Justina, her fictional
predecessors.
