Albert Camus
The Outsider
In his classic existentialist novel, Camus explores
the predicament of the individual who is prepared to face the
indifference of the universe courageously and alone. Meursault
leads an apparently unremarkable bachelor life in Algiers until
he commits an act of violence. His response to the incident challenges
the fundamental values of society, a set of rules so binding that
any person breaking them is condemned as an alien, an outsider.
For Meursault it is an insult to his reason and a betrayal of
his hopes, for Camus it is the absurdity of life.

A Body In The Bath House
Marcus Didius Falco discovers that rank brings problems, the
most gruesome of which is a corpse buried under the tiles of his
new bath house. The contractors have fled to Britain where, as
the Fates have it, Falco is ordered. A local chief and ally of
the Romans is having a Palace built by the Emperor Vespasian.
However, the project is running late, and fatal accidents keep
happening. Falco, troubleshooting for the Emperor, is without
an ally and now next on the list for assassination.
