Disguised as an idle vacationer in the company of his best friend Petronius, Falco travels from the Isle of Capreae to Neapolis and all the way to the great city of Pompeii... where a whole new series of Herculean events-- involving yet another conspiracy, and a fateful meeting with his beloved Helena-- are about to erupt... .
