The Rest:
  • New work: In a Spanish publication, there is "La cara oculta de la Roma clásica: crimen y pesquisas en la urbe" by Isabel Moreno Ferrero. This essay appeared in Informe criminal. La figura del detective en gaero negro (A. Martín Escribá, J. Sanchez Zapatero (editors), Valladolid). (1/4)

Notes:
Notations in square brackets attempt to provide a rating service for the interested reader. Ratings range from [****], indicative of excellent mystery and historical value, all the way down to [] (don't bother).

If you have any additions to the booklist or can provide any of the information which is missing from this list, please e-mail to Richard M. Heli.

Happy reading!

Note: The Detective and the Toga was formerly The Sword and the Sleuth.


Links:
I'm asked a lot if there is any similar site for Ancient Egyptian, Greek or Medieval mysteries. Ancient Egypt in Mysteries is a good bet for the first. For Medieval, please see Historical Detectives by Renée Vink. You may also like to try Nance Hurt's BrerFox list of medieval mysteries and cross-reference with Sue Feder's page for reviews of these same titles. Meanwhile, for the Ancient Greeks, as of May 2004 try Sibyl & Sleuth. For non-mystery Roman fiction, try Fictional Rome by Fred Mench et al., which includes reviews, but does not seem to have been updated in a couple of years. A similar site located in Germany, is Historische Romane über das alte Rom (now located at the easier-to-remember www.hist-rom.de) by Stefan Cramme. Finally, for the curious, there is also a personal reading list of non-Roman mysteries. Bonus feature: Board Games Set in Ancient Rome

This site's links to Amazon.com (USA), The Internet Bookshop (UK) Amazon.de (Germany) and amazon.de Amazon.co.uk (UK) will take you directly to a page for the book at one of these book seller sites, at which you have a fully reversible option to buy. I believe this method to be generally safe when using the security features built into your browser. Many of the titles are often on discount and a small percentage of the price of the first book you buy when arriving from The Detective and the Toga goes to me. amazon.com I don't expect to make any money at this, but perhaps it will help to defray the operating cost of running this website, for which I gratefully thank you. amazon.co.uk This is my best answer for the many of you who have written in to say that you would love to read the books if you could but acquire a copy. Now, in many cases, with but a few clicks, you can.
