2000Set in Vespasian's Rome. yet another adventure involving the detecting skills of Marcus Didius Falco (and Helena) "A frightened child approaches Roman informer Marcus Didius Falco, pleading for help. Nobody believes Gaia"s story that a relation wants to kill her - and neither does he. Beset by his own family troubles, by his new responsibilities as Procurator of the Sacred Poultry, and by the continuing search for a new partner, he turns her away. Immediately he regrets it. Gaia has been selected as the new Vestal Virgin, and when she disappears Falco is officially asked to investigate - closely watched by Titus Caesar, whose new ladylove Berenice is under suspicion from scandalmongers, and by his two ex-partners Petronius and Anacrites, who both have personal reasons to hope he will slip up. Aelianus, the resentful brother of Falco"s girlfriend Helena, is also aiming to join the establishment. In the Sacred Grove of the Arval Brothers, Aelianus stumbles on a gruesome corpse, which then disappears. He too asks Falco for advice, and as their delicate enquiries proceed among Rome"s most ancient and influential cults, it becomes clear that the murder, its obvious cover-up, and the fate of the missing child may all be mysteriously linked. Finding Gaia is then a race against time, ending in Falco"s most terrifying exploit yet.... " Book

Now as every crook in Rome is scrambling to take over Balbinus's scams, Falco has to deal with heists in the Emporium, murders in the vias, shady deals at the Bower of Venus--not to mention his own forbidden romance with a senator's daughter. Meanwhile, Balbinus is said to be on his way home. And if he is, Falco's life won't be worth a red centum. " Book

1995Book is fine. DJ has very light shelfwear. ; Romans do nothing by halves - nowhere is the espresso more bitter, the monuments as grandiose, the intrigue so ancient and the style as contrived. In this book, the author, a former correspondent, shows readers the true Rome and the true Romans. The book provides an evocative mixture of history, literature, and politics, including diarists and commentators to chronicle almost every generation of Roman hedonism and decay. Here is the Rome of the Popes, of a poet who loathed priests - Shelley, his wife and their son - in happiness and in tragedy. Here too are the city's intimitable railways, its innumerable cats. Sheridan the historian unravels the curious story of Mussloini's son-in-law and the British ambassador and as befits his period as a leading newspaper correspondent, new thoughts on Don Giulio Andreotti, seven times Prime Minister, as well as the Moro and Calvi affairs and other scandals. ; 202 pages

2011br. Fu davvero l'imperatore Nerone a incendiare Roma? Il filologo classico Carlo Pascal (1866-1926) lo mette in dubbio in questo intrigante e documentato libro che ha già fatto scandalo. Fuori dalle librerie da molti anni, questa edizione rende di nuovo disponibile un racconto denso di aneddoti e forte di prove. Con le cronache del tempo sotto mano, ecco emergere il profilo dei veri colpevoli: furono i cristiani gli attori della più grande e abominevole congiura incendiaria di tutti i tempi. Per gli appassionati della storia raccontata in presa diretta è un libro fondamentale, ma soprattutto godibile nel suo stile investigativo. Capace di penetrare i racconti e i luoghi comuni, Pascal mostra il potere di una vecchia scienza a torto considerata neutrale. La filologia può restituirci una storia che scende dal piedistallo per tornare viva e continuare ad appassionare.
