Forlagsbeskrivelse af FALCO THE OFFICIAL COMPANION af Lindsey Davis

In 1989, Lindsey Davis introduced readers to Marcus Didius Falco, the Roman informer, in her first novel in the popular Falco series: The Silver Pigs. Twenty books later, Davies created a Falco companion for her loyal fans. Only here will you learn about the author’s private background, including her descent from a failed assassin and how atheism improved her knitting. Here, too, are the real glories and heartache involved in the research and creation of her books. This companion covers perennial issues and comes complete with a hundred illustrations and enlightening quotations from the Falco books and eminent sources: Juvenal, through Chandler, to 1066 and All That. It's time to spill beans on the travertine. . . ********************************************************************************'Her research has been assiduous and detailed, her commitment to the subject is impressive, and the background detail is often eye-opening' Hilary Mantel, Observer'One of the best writers in this field!'
