Publisher's summary

"I still can't believe I've put the bastard away for good!" Petro muttered.'

Petronius Longus, captain of the Aventine watch and Falco's oldest friend, has finally nailed one of Rome's top criminals. Under Roman law, citizens are not imprisoned but are allowed 'time to depart' into exile outside the Empire.

One dark and gloomy dawn, Petro and Falco put the evil Balbinus aboard a ship. But soon after, an outbreak of robbery and murder suggests a new criminal ring has moved into Balbinus' territory. Petro and Falco must descend into the underworld of Vespasian's Rome to investigate...

What a romp! I love this series

The characters are all fantastic, the plot is good, the sense of being in Ancient Rome is like time-travel, and the narrator is super. I’ve enjoyed every one of these so far and I know I’ll be at a loss when I finish them all. I’ve tried other mystery series and generally they do not measure up to this one.
