Deadly Election is a 2015 historical mystery crime novel by Lindsey Davis and the third book in the Flavia Albia Mysteries[3] (Falco: The New Generation) series. Set in Ancient Rome, the novel stars Flavia Albia, the British-born adopted daughter of Marcus Didius Falco (the hero of the author's 20-volume Marcus Didius Falco Mysteries series, published from 1989 to 2010). Albia, a widow, works as a "delatrix" (a detective or private informer) in ancient Rome, like Falco.[4][5][6][7] In the UK, the book's cover carries the strapline: "A Flavia Alba Novel".[8]

Connections to the Falco series

The fates of two recurring characters from the Falco series (Claudius Laeta and Nothokleptes) are revealed and discussed.

  • By the time Albia meets Laeta, he is a dying man and soon passes on.
  • Nothokleptes is revealed to have gone senile; his business is now managed by his son.
