Alexandria

Falco travels with Helena and their family to Alexandria in AD 77. A visit to the scholarly institutions becomes an investigation when the head librarian is found dead in circumstances that suggest professional rivalry rather than accident.

Further deaths, stolen books and disputed appointments draw Falco into the administration of the Museion and library. The case examines how patronage and institutional prestige shape a community that presents itself as devoted only to learning.
