A DYING LIGHT IN CORDUBA

Mystery and corruption abound in the olive oil industry and high society of the ancient Roman Empire. Marcus Didius Falco comes to the rescue once again. Donnelly’s British accent carefully enunciates each of Falco’s long-winded words. Although anachronisms in language and references will disturb students of ancient history, Donnelly’s excellent representations of ancient peoples will take the listener on a romp through "the good old days" of low morals and Byzantine conspiracies and politics, laced with a murder or two.
