Rome, AD 72. Marcus Didius Falco, one-time Imperial agent and unemployed informer, has an insurmountable problem. The Emperor Vespasian has refused to elevate him to the middle rank and therefore he cannot marry his aristocratic love, Helena Justina. But employment is employment, and when Anacrites, Vespasian's chief spy asks Falco to undertake a mission to the East, he decides that the best solution to problems at home is to take them abroad. |
