Jacket illustration by John Martinez. The ninth title in the Marcis Didius Falco series. In vino veritas. But in the water supply of Rome horroras Marcus Didius Falco is about to find out. Sharing an ewer of Spanish red with his old friend and new partner Petronius Longus Falco is on the spot when a man cleaning the local fountain makes a gruesome discovery: a human hand. Small and evidently female the hand suggests its owner met a terrifying fate. Naturally Falco and Petro formerly of the Vigiles want to seize on it as their first big case. The officials of Rome however prefer to hush up the incident since a population that riots at the drop of a toga might run wild if body parts are polluting their drinking water. Soon other delicate dismembered hands are being found in Rome's two hundred miles of aqueduct. Now aided inspired and given critical clues by his wife Helena Falco & Partner are ready to buck the status quo and even butt heads with Falco's old boss Chief Spy Anacrites to crack the case. But O Hades! The duo suspects a serial killer is at large linked topublic festivals and likely to strike again at the upcoming Roman Games. Even a detective as astute as Falco may not spot a twisted mind in a crowd of 250000. And if Falco loses this race with time another pretty victim will make a deadly splash. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. Illus. by Martinez John. Book. Mysterious Press Hardcover

THREE HANDS IN THE FOUNTAIN: A Marcus Didius Falco Mystery
London United Kingdom: Century 1997. First edition so stated with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket not price clipped in protective mylar cover. The 9th book in Falco sries of Ancient Rome. "Secret-agent/sleuth Marcus Didius Falco A Dying Light in Cordoba etc. returns with gusto for another case of mystery and intrigue - this time involving a serial killer in ancient Rome. As the novel opens Falco has just come back from a perilous mission to Baetican Spain and is ready to tackle his new role as father to his first-born daughter. But his commitment to paternal responsibilities begins to lag when he and his old friend Petronius Longus make a gory discovery of a severed human hand in one of Rome's many fountains. As the inquisitive buddies do some reconnaissance work encountering similar body parts in the Roman water supply they learn that there is in fact a tradition of corpses circulating in the waterworks. Furthermore these dead bodies often appear after public festivals. The threat of contaminated aqueducts coupled with the imminent Roman Games brings Falco and Petro to confront the authorities on the matter. Official desire to keep the problem under wraps forces the pair to determine the killer's identity on their own with the help of Helena Falco's wife Anacrites a spy and boarder in Falco's mother's home and other toga-wearing tipsters. Once again Davis weaves an intricate irreverent plot filled with wittily imagined characters." -- Publishers Weekly. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. Book. Century Hardcover

''Falco the informer-cum-sleuth who navigates the corrupt political waters of the Roman Empire with an appealing mix of integrity and self-interest is just hip enough for the room; he wears his cynicism like a raincoat but he won't be confused with Sam Spade at a toga party . . . Fascinating details about the olive-oil market lubricate the plot nicely while Falco and Helena's bantering about the baby-to-be evoke Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt on Mad about You.'' --Booklist.

ONE VIRGIN TOO MANY
NY: Mysterious Press 2000. 1st ed with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in dust jacket with protective mylar cover. Rome. The 11th Falco title. "Marcus Didius Falco is back in another lively first-century historical mystery. The Roman investigator informer and imperial spy's snappy patter romantic leanings strong sense of irony and penchant for getting into interesting situations have won Lindsey Davis a growing number of fans. Flush with his earnings from an African adventure Two for the Lions Falco's just been rewarded for his service to the empire with an unusual bit of political patronage: he's been appointed to the largely ceremonial position of Procurator of the Sacred Poultry meaning he's in charge of the care and feeding of a gaggle of sacred geese. This un-Falco-like upward mobility is an opportunity for Marcus to move his patrician wife Helena Justina and their toddler out of a tenement and into a home of their own. As much as Marcus scoffs at middle-class pretensions he's not above leaving his seedy surroundings and providing his family with some of the finer things if only to show his in-laws that he can. But when Helena's brother falls over a corpse that disappears before it can be identified Falco tosses the geese some food and gets busy finding the connection between the dead man and a 6-year-old girl who's in line to be chosen as the new vestal virgin. That leads him into intrigue danger and a confrontation with a former vestal virgin that almost costs him his life. Well paced with good dialogue excellent plotting and a cast of terrific characters surrounding Falco and Helena including some familiar from earlier stories One Virgin Too Many shows Davis in top form.
