Marcus Didius Falco Mysteries

by Lindsey Davis

In ancient Rome, Marcus Didius Falco is a hard-boiled informer with a sharp tongue and a cynical edge. This witty, well-researched series mixes crime, satire, and political intrigue with vivid historical detail.

I read the first eight books (or so) of this series in the 1990s, so this is partly a re-read. I’ve decided to start from the beginning again.

2. Shadows in Bronze (1990)
3. Venus in Copper (1991)
4. The Iron Hand of Mars (1992)
