One virgin too many, paperback/lindsey davis

One Virgin Too Many is the eleventh book in Lindsey Davis bestselling Falco series.

A frightened child approaches Roman informer Marcus Didius Falco, pleading for help.

Nobody believes Gaias story that a relation wants to kill her -- and neither does he.

Beset by his own family troubles, by his new responsibilities as Procurator of the Sacred Poultry, and by the continuing search for a new partner, he turns her away.

Immediately he regrets it.

Gaia has been selected as the new Vestal Virgin, and when she disappears Falco is officially asked to investigate.

Finding Gaia is then a race against time, ending in Falcos most terrifying exploit yet.
