While renovating the Garden of the Hesperides tavern, workers uncover the remains of a barmaid who vanished years earlier. Further digging reveals five more skeletons, turning a building project into an investigation of neglected deaths in Rome's lower-status entertainment district.

Albia questions former workers, landlords and criminal associates while preparing to marry Manlius Faustus. Violence directed at witnesses suggests that someone still fears the truth, and the inquiry continues until the wedding celebrations themselves are placed at risk.
