Seller's Description
This paperback is Lindsey Davis's novel 'THE SILVER PIGS' published by Pan Books in the UK in 1990. Book is in reasonable condition. 258 pages. Picture is of actual book.
SYNOPSIS: Marcus Didius Falco, is an iconoclastic young republican. Falco rescues the niece of a senator from a kidnapping attempt, is attracted by both her innocence and the secret she keeps regarding a silver ingot (the "pig" of the title) and then stricken when her corpse is found in a spice warehouse. Hired by her family to track down the reasons behind her death, Falco spends the winter in Britain working as a slave in a silver mine. Enduring vividly depicted hardship with customary sharp-witted pluck, he picks up the hints of a plan to overthrow Vespasian, the current emperor. He also meets the senator's divorced, sharp-tongued daughter, Helena Justina, and brings her back to Rome where they work with - and against - each other to find the culprit.
