Description

Book Synopsis

In 1989, Lindsey Davis introduced readers to Marcus Didius Falco, the Roman informer, in her first novel in the popular Falco series: The Silver Pigs. Twenty books later, Davies created a Falco companion for her loyal fans.

Only here will you learn about the author's private background, including her descent from a failed assassin and how atheism improved her knitting. Here, too, are the real glories and heartache involved in the research and creation of her books.

This companion covers perennial issues and comes complete with a hundred illustrations and enlightening quotations from the Falco books and eminent sources: Juvenal, through Chandler, to 1066 and All That.

It's time to spill beans on the travertine. . .

About the Author

Historical novelist Lindsey Davis is best known for her novels set in Ancient Rome, including the much-loved Marcus Didius Falco series, although she has also written about the English Civil War, including in 2014 A Cruel Fate, a book for the Quick Reads literacy initiative. Her examination of the paranoid reign of the roman emperor Domitian began with Master and God, a standalone novel, leading to her new series about Flavia Albia, set in that dark period. Her books are translated and have been dramatized on BBC Radio 4. Her many awards include the Premio Colosseo (from the city of Rome) and the Crime Writers' Cartier Diamond Dagger for lifetime achievement. Most recently she was awarded the City of Ubeda Historical Novel Prize, also for lifetime achievement.
