No references found | The Accusers (# 15 in the series), which takes place back in Rome, pits Falco and Helena's two brothers, Aelianus and Justinus, against corrupt lawyers. The usual characters aid him--his wife, the patrician Helena Justina; his overbearing mother; his antique-dealing, much despised father: his best friend Petronius Longus, an honest, hard-drinking cop; his favorite sister, Maia, a widow whose alcoholic husband has been eaten by a lion in the arena (for the gory details, read Two for the Lions); Aelianus, a feckless brother-in-law; and Anacrites, an old enemy and the Emperor's Chief Spy. |
