Rereading this the first of the Falco novels, I was not disappointed. Davis writes with humour and impressive knowledge of the Roman World - here the process of mining for silver in the British mines - and the corruption that went with it. Falco is engaging, Helena a worthy heroine, so if you haven't met them allow me to affect the introduction.
