I’ve added it to cart, looks like there are a lot by the author. Have you ever read the Britannia novels of Rosemary Sutcliff? If so, how do these authors compare? Tnx.

Well in the next door Scandinavian city of Daz, they would cool the pig ingots in ice, that’s what you call Haagen-Dazs.

“Silver Pigs” is the firs in the Marcus Didius Falco mystery series ... I have the entire series both in hardback and e-book. I can safely say that it is one of my favorite series that I try to re-read at least once per year.

I have read the “Britannia” series, along with the “Libertus” series by Rosemary Rowe, as well as the “Roman Sub Rosa” series (Gordianus the Finder) by Steven Saylor. They are all very good, but I still like the Falco series the best.

Thanks! I’ll probably go with the audiobook version, else I’ll never get to it. I have read almost no fiction these last, hmm, 35 years, but have knocked off a bunch of Clive Cussler audiobooks. I wonder if my Kindle-addicted sister would enjoy “Silver Pigs” as well... seems like a good reason to send her something that arrives as a surprise and cheap. :^)
