Winner of the first Ellis Peters/British Crime Writers' Association Historical Mystery Dagger Award. In the first century A.D., when gladiators as popular as today's WCW champs fought to the death in the Colosseum, all of Rome cheered. Today we cheer too every time Lindsey Davis makes this ancient world come alive. Her newest novel in the series featuring Marcus Didius Falco puts the tough private eye in the lions' den to investigate an extraordinary case of murder... TWO FOR THE LIONS. Nothing's certain except death and taxes. Catching tax evaders for the Emperor Vespasian looks like a plum position for Marcus Didius Falco, who has teamed up with his old boss, Anacrites, the crotchety chief spy of Rome. Soon, however, Falco is bogged down in bureaucracy, stuck at his stylus, and longing for a good murder to investigate.
