CONTRACTORS ON SCHEDULE FOR CORPSES IN BRITANNIA AD 75: as a
passion for home improvement sweeps through the Roman Empire, Falco
struggles to deal with a pair of terrible bath-house contractors
who have been causing him misery for months. Far away in Britain,
King Togidubnus of the Atrebates tribe is planning his own
makeover. His huge new residence (known to us as Fishbourne Palace)
will be spectacular - but the sensational refurbishment is beset by
'accidents'. The frugal Emperor Vespasian is paying for all this;
he wants someone to investigate. Falco has a new baby, a new house,
and he hates Britain. But his feud with Anacrites the Chief Spy has
now reached a dangerous level, so with his own pressing reasons to
leave Rome in a hurry, he accepts the task. A thousand miles from
home, he starts restoring order to the chaotic building site and
realises that someone with murderous intentions is now after him...
