''The Ides of April'' is a 2013 historical crime novel by Lindsey Davis. It is set in ancient Rome, and its central character is Flavia Albia, British-born adopted daughter of Marcus Didius Falco, the hero of the author's 20-volume Falco series, published from 1989 to 2010. Flavia Albia is a 28-year-old widowed "informer", a detective, like her father. The book is set in March and April AD 89, in the Aventine Hill area of Rome. The front cover image is of a small glass pot and a needle dipped in blood. It carries the strapline "Falco: The New Generation". The book is written in the first person, from Flavia Albia's point of view. ==Connections to the Falco series== Falco and his partner Helena are included in the "Cast list" in the book, and Flavia Albia describes them and their household and visits them during the course of the story, but they do not appear directly in the text. Helena's two brothers are mentioned as being lawyers. Falco's old friend Petro is not mentioned in the cast list, but is referred to as Flavia Albia's "uncle" in the text. Falco's young brother Postumus, the result of Thalia's pregnancy in ''Nemesis'', is now an awkward eleven-year-old, who appears in the book. Flavia Albia uses Falco's old apartment in Fountain Court as her office, and lives elsewhere in the same building. In ''Enemies at Home'', it is revealed that the Didii bought over the Fountain Court block, possibly from Smaractus, Falco's former landlord. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Ides of April」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
