Nemesis by Davis, Lindsey - 2011

London,: Arrow, 2011 "When a mutilated corpse turns up near Rome, Falco and his friend Petronius investigate, even though it means travelling in the dread marshes. But just as they are making progress, the Chief Spy, Anacrites, snatches their case away. As his rivalry with Falco escalates, he makes false overtures of friendship, but fails to cover up the fact that the violent Claudii have acquired corrupt protection at the highest level. Making further enquiries after they have been warned off can only be dangerous - but when did that stop Falco and Petronius" 363p.. Pbk. New.
