By putting one of our authors on the 'Hotspot' we hope to give
you and your reading group the chance to have all those burning
questions you might have, answered by the authors themselves - we
can't imagine a more direct way of uncovering an author's motivations
and intentions!

Scandal
Takes a Holiday is Lindsey Davis' sixteenth novel in the
bestselling Marcus Didius Falco series. "Infamia", the
pen name of the scribe who writes the gossip column for the Daily
Gazette, has gone missing. His fellow scribes have employed Falco
to find him and bring him back from his lazy, drunken truancy. But
before long, Falco's enquiries lead him into the world of piracy
and the discovery of criminal traditions long believed dead. Is
this the right path towards finding "Infamia"? Why would
pirates have taken him? And if they have, will he be found alive?
Lindsey Davis's first Falco novel, The
Silver Pigs, was published in 1989. Since then, her novel
Two
For the Lions won the inaugural Ellis Peters Historical
Dagger in 1998, and in 1999 she received the Sherlock Award for
Best Comic Detective for her creation of Falco. Lindsey's last ten
novels have been Sunday Times hardback bestsellers.
