Two for the Lions: A Marcus Didius Falco Mystery (Marcus Didius Falco Mysteries, Book 10) (Marcus Didius Falco Mysteries (Audio))

Marcus Didius Falco gets another murder to investigate when someone kills Leonidas, the Empire's official executioner. Feared by all, Leonidas administered justice with a swift, sure blow. Then he ate the offender. Now this king of beasts lies stabbed to death in his cage. Sniffing around for clues, Falco is led into the rowdy, decadent world of gladiators and bestiarii, fighters who specialize in contests against animals. It's dark and dangerous in the tunnels under the arena-- and even blacker in the desperate souls of those who must kill or be killed. Yet no one has a motive for slaughtering a lion after hours. The unexpected slaying of the most glamorous gladiator in the city is another matter.
