There Will Be Bodies
关于此电子书
Flavia Albia and her husband Tiberius Manlius are tasked with restoring one villa and identifying any surviving remains.
What they unearth is beyond disturbing. When the volcano erupted some people were left to their fate here, unable to escape. They included the previous owner, Publius Primus - laid out carefully and covered by falling ash.
Was Primus murdered? And, if so, why? Can Flavia Albia solve the mystery?
There Will Be Bodies looks beyond the well-known tragic events to what must have happened afterwards. It is the most intriguing crime novel of Lindsey Davis's long and celebrated career.
