We first met Flavia Albia, Falco's feisty adopted daughter, in The Ides of April
. Albia is a remarkable woman in what is very much a man's world: young, widowed
and fiercely independent, she lives alone on the Aventine Hill in Rome and make
s a good living as a hired investigator. An outsider in more ways than one, Albi
a has unique insight into life in ancient Rome, and she puts it to good use goin
g places no man could go, and asking questions no man could ask.
