Another interesting, witty, informative look at the seamier side of Roman life.
A young girl dies mysteriously in her sleep but the parents can't accept that. Flavia Alba is called in and discovers all sorts of goings on in the neighbourhood. A group of entitled snotty adolescents, potential witchcraft, historical wife swapping, bent lawers and a viscious gang land turf war all come to light, along with further tragedies.
Told with wit and humanity. Is the stage being set for follow up of the gangland story?
