Flavia Albia, the independent and dynamic adopted daughter of Falco, returns in this mystery-filled and plot-driven story. She lives alone on the Aventine Hill in Rome, earning her living as a professional investigator. As a woman in a male-dominated world, Albia possesses a unique perspective on life in ancient Rome and exploits this advantage, penetrating environments where no man could go.

After her last case, she becomes embroiled once more in a dark conspiracy when two mysterious deaths at a local villa could be murder. With the household slaves as suspects, Albia is compelled to act, and this time, her battle for truth and justice includes rescuing people who cannot defend themselves.

"Enemies at Home" presents Ancient Rome in Lindsey Davis's unique style, offering humor, mystery, action, and the next adventures of the remarkable new heroine who promises to become as famous as Marcus Didius Falco and Helena Justina, her fictional ancestors.
