DIE FOR THE MONEY. Things are going well for Marcus Didius Falco, ancient Rome\'s investigator: he hates sharing a cell with a rodent, although being bailed by his old mother is almost as embarrassing; his highborn girlfriend can\'t decide if she wants him and Titus Caesar\'s reward for past services is disappointing to say the least. Hoping for a better life, or at least a better apartment, he takes on new clients. On the elegant slopes of the Pincian Hill, three freedmen with two flashy wives are under siege by a clever redhead. Severina Zotica has a foul-mouthed parrot, an odd connection with a snake dancer - and a very suspicious past.
