DIE FOR THE MONEY. Things are going well for Marcus Didius Falco, ancient Rome''s investigator: he hates sharing a cell with a rodent, although being bailed by his old mother is almost as embarrassing; his highborn girlfriend can''t decide if she wants him and Titus Caesar''s reward for past services is disappointing to say the least.

As he pursues this flame-haired fortune-hunter, Falco finds himself beset by violent rent-racketeers, poisoners, and women without consciences who have dangerous designs on him...
