One Virgin Too Many, by Lindsey Davis
Falco's trip to Africa in the last book was a turning point. He now has leverage with chief spy Anacrites. Even the family of his beloved Helena has begun to accept him, so much so that Aelianus, one of Helena's brothers, asks his help and becomes his partner in the quest for the identity of the missing corpse of a sacrifically butchered priest. Falco, a religious figure in his own right, as procurator of the sacred poultry, and Aelianus, a would-be corn flamen, risk execution in their quest for another would-be holy person, a missing six-year-old vestal virgin candidate. Lots of twists and turns but nothing too untoward happens as Falco solves all with the help of former partners, Anacrites and Petro, and his new one, Aelianus. |
