Szukana fraza: [Abstract = "The paper presents definitions of the subgenre and discusses in detail the novels of Lindsey Davis set in 1st century Rome and featuring a \"private investigator\" named Marcus Didius Falco. The books are remarkably successful both as historical fictions and as crime stories, although they do not entirely avoid the pitfalls resulting from the blending of these two distinct literary forms, the most striking of which is the fundamental anachronism of a detective narrative set in a distant historical past."]
