Falco is about to get involved in a Londinium noir tale of gangsters, gladiators and love. For Falco, a relaxed visit to Britain turns serious at the scene of a downstown murder. The Rome's ally, King Togidubnus, has been stuffed head-first down a bar-room well - leading to a tricky diplomatic situation which Falco must diffuse.
The fourteenth Falco novel is a tale of love, gangsters and female gladiators – including one from Falco’s own past. Falco and his family are staying in London when Falco is summoned to the scene of a murder. The victim, Verovolcus, was a renegade with ties to Roman crime magnates operating in London, but he was also close to King Togidubnus. So when he is discovered stuffed head-first down a well, a tricky diplomatic situation develops that Falco must defuse, and which leads him into the seedy underbelly of London. There is a newly built amphitheatre in town, with female gladiators, but Falco soon realizes that the initially troublesome gladiators – including one from his own bachelor past – may just give him the edge he needs to solve Verovolcus’ murder, as the gangsters are pursued back to the Italian town of Ostia for a final showdown.From the Hardcover edition.
