As a result, often the people Romans feared most were the "enemies at home," the slaves under their own roofs. Because of this, Roman law decreed that if the head of a household was murdered at home, and the culprit wasn't quickly discovered, his slaves, all of them, guilty or not, were presumed responsible and were put to death. Without exception. When a couple is found dead in their own bedroom and their house burglarized,some of their household slaves know what is about to happen to them. They flee to the Temple of Ceres, which by tradition is respected as a haven for refugees. This is where Flavia Albia comes in. The authorities, under pressure from all sides, need a solution. Albia, a private informer just like her father, Marcus Didius Falco, is asked to solve the murders. 650 0 $a Albia, Flavia (Fictitious character) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Private investigators $z Rome $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Rome $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Mystery fiction. $2 gsafd 800 1 $a Davis, Lindsey. $t Flavia Albia mystery. 941 $a 1 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20211020010843.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1F60BB4E817F11E79428AD3997128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
