Vespasian's chief Spy Anacrites, is trying to arrest Falco for the theft of lead, used as plot points in both of the first two Falco books. Yes, technically he did purloin the lead, but it was done in order to track down one of the Emperor Vespasian's enemies, and is more of an error in accounting. Trying to raise the money to raise his status to middle rank so he can marry his upper-crust girlfriend, Helena Justina, Falco takes on new clients. Once again, sadly, Gordon Griffin doesn't quite capture Falco's voice, so some of the quirkiness is lost.
