Marcus Didius Falco is to make ready new contacts and start a new career, and a dinner for the Society of Olive Oil Producers of Baetica seems like the perfect opportunity. But when two dinner guests are found beaten — one dead — Falco knows he cannot rest until he solves at least one more mystery…
Nobody was poisoned at the dinner for the Society of Olive Oil Producers of Baetica, though in retrospect this was quite a surprise…
Inimitable detective Marcus Didius Falco is back with a vengeance. Muggings occur, a man is killed and Rome’s answer to Phillip Marlowe is plunged into the fiercely competitive world of olive oil production. Political intrigue, an exotic Spanish dancer and impending fatherhood, all add to Falco’s troubles.
