On a journey that only a stoic could survive, Falco meets with disarray, torture, and murder. His one hope: in the northern forest lives a powerful Druid priestess who perhaps can be persuaded to cease her anti-Rome activities and work for peace. Which Falco is eagerly hoping for as, back in Rome, the Titus Caesar is busy trying to make time with Helena Justina, a senator's daughter and Falco's girlfriend.\n\nLindsey Davis' historical mystery Iron Hand of Mars is a \"Seamless blending of humor, history and adventure\" (Publishers Weekly).\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0312647298\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0312647298.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Davis, Lindsey\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
