It is AD 104, and Flavia Albia is enjoying a peaceful life in Rome with her husband, Manlius Faustus. But their tranquility is shattered when a Parthian delegation arrives in the city, bearing news of a murder. The victim is a Roman senator, and the Parthians believe that he was killed by a Roman agent.
Flavia is tasked with investigating the murder, and she quickly realizes that the stakes are high. If she cannot find the killer and prove that Rome was not responsible, war between the two empires could be inevitable.
Flavia's investigation takes her to the heart of Roman society, from the wealthy villas of the elite to the crowded slums of the poor. She interviews senators, slaves, and everyone in between, trying to piece together the truth.
As Flavia gets closer to the truth, she realizes that the murder is more complicated than it seems. There are multiple suspects, each with their own motives. And as the body count rises, Flavia begins to fear that she may be next.
Desperate Undertaking is a gripping historical mystery that will keep readers on the edge of their seats from beginning to end. Lindsey Davis brings the ancient world to life with her vivid descriptions and engaging characters. And in Flavia Albia, she has created a heroine who is both intelligent and resourceful. Readers will be rooting for Flavia every step of the way as she races to solve the murder and prevent a war.
