In the high summer of 77 AD, Roman informer Marcus Didius Falco is beset by personal problems. A middle-aged couple who supplied statues to his father has disappeared. They had an old feud with a bunch of notorious freedmen, the Claudii, who terrorize the neighborhood. When a mutilated corpse turns up, Falco and his friend Petronius investigate. But just as they are making progress, the chief spy, Anacrites, snatches the case away. He makes false overtures of friendship, but fails to cover up the fact that the Claudii have acquired corrupt protection at the highest level. Falco and Petronius dig deeper while the shocking truth creeps closer and closer to home.

Reviews

โ€œWith its tricky, suspenseful plot, this entry deserves to join its immediate predecessor on bestseller lists.โ€

โ€œAnother well-plotted Falco mystery, more emotionally complex than others.โ€

โ€œNemesis is a fitting title for this solid twentieth entry in British historian Davisโ€™ standout series, in which Falco encounters a collection of cold-blooded and bloody annoying foes.โ€
