See Delphi and Die (Marcus Didius Falco #17) – It’s 76 A.D. during the reign of Vespasian, and Marcus Didius Falco has achieved much in his life. He’s joined the equestrain rank, allowing him to marry Helena Justina, the Senator’s daughter he’s been keeping time with the past few years.

But they aren’t there long before Falco finds himself in the midst of nefarious doings—when the Librarian of the great library is found dead, under suspicious circumstances.
