Falco's public poetry reading brings him into contact with Aurelius Chrysippus, a banker who finances and publishes writers. When Chrysippus is killed in his scriptorium, Petronius asks Falco to investigate the author's clients and business partners.

The inquiry exposes debt, vanity and exploitation within Rome's literary trade. Manuscripts and publishing agreements become evidence as Falco distinguishes professional resentment from financial motives.
