Dziewi?? historii, kt?re sk?adaj? si? na t? ksi??k?, to misternie skonstruowane, pe?ne napi?cia "krymina?y". Wszystkie Umiejscowione s? w okresie o?miu lat dziel?cych Rzymsk? krew i Ramiona Nemezis (dwie pierwsze powie?ci cyklu "Roma sub rosa"). W tle opisywanych intryg przewija si? dzieci?stwo Ekona, adoptowanego syna Gordianusa, zwi?zek bohatera z niewolnic? Bethesd? (p??niejsz? jego ?on?), a ca?o??, co chyba najwa?niejsze, przesycona jest histori? Rzymu od kresu dyktatury Sulli a? po powstanie Spartakusa. Dom westalek to istotne uzupe?nienie ca?ego cyklu. "Roma sub rosa", cykl powie?ci Stevena Saylora, kt?rych akcja toczy si? w staro?ytnym Rzymie u schy?ku republiki, a bohaterem jest Gordianus Poszukiwacz, zosta? nadzwyczaj dobrze przyj?ty i przez czytelnik?w, i przez krytyk?w, daj?c autorowi miejsce w?r?d znacz?cych tw?rc?w sensacyjnych powie?ci historycznych.

Beneath the imposing Kollen Mountain lies a small village where the children run in and out of one another's houses and play unafraid in the streets. But the sleepy village is like a pond through which not enough water runs – beneath the surface it is beginning to stagnate. When a naked body is found by the lake at the top of the mountain, its seeming tranquility is disturbed forever. Enter Inspector Sejer, a tough, no-nonsense policeman whose own life is tinged by sadness. As the suspense builds, and the list of suspects grows, Sejer's determination to discover the truth will lead him to peel away layer upon layer of distrust and lies, in this tiny community where apparently normal family ties hide dark secrets. Critically acclaimed across Europe, Karin Fossum's novels evoke a world that is terrifyingly familiar. Don't Look Back introduces the tough, ethical Inspector Sejer to British readers for the first time.
