Any fans of Lindsey Davis' 'Falco' books may like to know that BBC Radio 4 are broadcasting Part 1 of a new 4 part adaptation of 'The Silver Pigs' at 11:30am (UK time) on Friday 5th March. It should be available through the internet for those outside Britain. <p></p><i></i>

A CD of the series is likely to be issued in due course, though no details are available as yet. It should be good - apparently Lindsey Davis is impressed. <p></p><i></i>
