Pompeii

Pompeii by Robert Harris (Arrow Books, 2003)
Available now at Crappy Old Books – where the pages might be yellowed, but the story still erupts with drama.

Set in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius, Pompeii is a gripping historical thriller that blends ancient engineering, political intrigue, and impending doom. When an aqueduct engineer discovers something foul in the water supply, he stumbles upon a mystery far more explosive than volcanic ash. Harris delivers a fast-paced narrative filled with rich detail, Roman corruption, and that deliciously slow-burning dread of an inevitable cataclysm.

Perfect for fans of suspense, history, or just watching rich Romans get their comeuppance.

Warning: This book may contain crumbling pages, questionable margin doodles, and the faint smell of ancient libraries – but hey, that’s the charm of Crappy Old Books.

Condition as new. Comes with freeLondon Review of Books book mark.
