Time to Depart Davis, Lindsey

**Time to Depart** throws Marcus Didius Falco into another deliciously twisted Roman mystery where organized crime meets ancient politics. When a notorious gang leader faces exile, Falco discovers that some criminals would rather die than leave Rome – and they're taking others with them. Lindsey Davis masterfully weaves themes of loyalty, corruption, and survival through the grimy underbelly of imperial Rome, proving that crime families haven't changed much in 2,000 years.

Perfect for fans of historical crime fiction who prefer their detectives witty rather than brooding. If you love Roman settings, sharp dialogue, and mysteries that don't take themselves too seriously, Falco's your guy. Davis has crafted one of the most entertaining detective series set in the ancient world, combining meticulous historical research with page-turning plots.

This preloved paperback from Patina Paperbacks is ready for its next adventure.

*"Davis writes with such authentic detail, you can practically smell the Roman streets. Falco is brilliantly flawed."*
