One fine day in AD 70, scruffy, working-class informer Marcus Didius Falco literally runs into a beautiful sixteen-year-old girl on the steps of the Forum. Falco finds himself in an inhospitable outpost of the Empire called Britain, where the weather is awful, the natives restless, and the women angry. If he does not tread carefully, the perilous puzzle of the silver pigs could be the death of him. Anton Lesser and Fritha Goodey star in this BBC Radio full-cast dramatization of Lindsey Davis's first Falco novel.
