Fresh from Last Act in Palmyra, Marcus Didius Falco, that most modern of ancient Romans, takes on organized crime in this latest installment of Davis’s impeccably executed series. Falco has a job everyone loves to hate: he’s the Emperor Vespasian’s informer, or private detective?and he does his work well. This time, he’s up against Balbinus Pius, perhaps the original John Gotti. Balbinus has finally been convicted of a capital crime, but, in traditional Roman style, he’s been given a chance to flee before his scheduled execution. The power vacuum created by his departure seems to have sucked up every miscreant in Rome: markets are plundered, children are kidnapped, centurions are murdered. While Falco sets out to determine whether the crime wave is the work of a new kingpin or a herd of small-time operators, his private life is also in a bit of a spin. Companion Helena, a senator’s daughter whom Falco is forbidden by law to marry because of their differing rank, is pregnant. And he’s also pitted against his old army buddy and best friend, Petronius, captain of the fourth cohort of the Aventine Watch, in a corruption investigation.The tale gets a bit bumpy, as Davis, compensating for a slightly subpar mystery plot, tosses in lots of action scenes and personal turmoil. But Falco remains as delightfully irreverent and insightful as ever; and Davis, as usual, brings the time to life while handling the eternals?worry, danger, love and in-laws?just asdeftly The Rome of the Vespasian’s time may be ancient to us, but it’s home to Marcus Didius Falco, the emperor’s informer and hero of “Time to Depart,” the seventh book in this series by Lindsey Davis The departure in the title is that of Balbinus Pius, the godfather of Rome’s underworld. Convicted of a capital crime, he is given “time to depart” under law to escape execution. Return to the city would mean death. Falco is also troubled by domestic matters when he finds that his lover, the daughter of a Senator who cannot marry him under law, is pregnant. Apart from the legal troubles (which, irritatingly, are neither resolved, nor did it turn out as threatening as Falco thought), he also needs to find a home, both for his expanding family and a mongrel dog determined to join them.
