Product Description

Product Description

Marcus Didius Falco returns from a mission to find his apartment has been wrecked by squatters and an ex-legionary friend of his heroic brother Festus is demanding money, allegedly owed him as the result of one of Festus’s wild schemes. Worse still, the only client Falco can get is his mother — who wants him to clear the family name. Then just as Falco thinks things can only get better, fate takes a turn for the worse…


Ingram

Returning to Rome from the outskirts of the empire, Marcus Didius Falco becomes the prime suspect in his brother's murder, even as he tries to find out whether the scandalous claims against his late kinsman are true.

5.0 out of 5 stars A masterful mix of history and mystery, May 4 2002
By jwalzer (Greenville, Delaware United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Poseidon's Gold (Mass Market Paperback)
I've been a fan of Lindsey Davis for some time. I am an amateur historian who is especially interested in ancient Rome, so I've read dozens of books on the subject. I am amazed at the wealth of detail contained in this book (and in all of Davis' Falco mysteries, all of which I've read). Such minute attention to detail not only provides an absorbing background to Davis' stories, but also testifies to her admirable efforts at presenting a plausible snapshot of ancient Rome, its geography, its history, and its populace. Davis' novels are both literature and history. This would not be exceptional were it not for the fact that Davis is a hell of a story-teller. Her tantalizing mysteries are spiced with the day-to-day details of life in ancient Rome, and the result is a fascinating read. Highly recommended!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Funfilled Journey through Rome, Nov 30 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Poseidon's Gold (Mass Market Paperback)
This was, in my opinion, one of the best Marcus Didius adventures. Marcus's relationship with his father adds great humor to an already wonderful story.

4.0 out of 5 stars I don't think the reviewr below and I read the same book, Oct 23 2000
By Dbmsewer "Dbmsewer" (Springfield, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Poseidon's Gold (Mass Market Paperback)
Poseidon's Gold pits Falco against the forces that would defame the good name of his not-so-honorable brother Festus, his father and a band of art thieves trying to collect a questionably unpaid debt. This lacked some of the action that marks the earlier Falco novels which is why it only merited four stars, but it's still great fun. It's not entirely fare to compare Davis with Saylor - his writing is very different and while it is sophisticated it lacks the irony and humor of Davis' work. Read her when you want to smile and let's hope poor Falco gets a break in one of her future books.
