Books like Enemies at home by Lindsey Davis


The Roman legal code once demanded that if a household head was killed and the perpetrator was not swiftly identified, every slave in that home—regardless of guilt—was condemned to death. In the wake of a couple’s brutal murder and the subsequent burglary of their residence, the surviving slaves urgently escape to the Temple of Ceres, a sanctuary believed to protect refugees. Faced with mounting pressure, authorities enlist Flavia Albia, a young private informer and daughter of Marcus Didius Falco, to investigate the crime and uncover the truth before more lives are lost.
