«Pompeii» is the historical novel by Robert Harris, published by Arrow in paperback (352 pages, in English).
A stifling August week in the Bay of Naples: while the richest Romans summer in Pompeii and Herculaneum, the wells run dry, a man disappears, and the Aqua Augusta aqueduct stops flowing. A young engineer, a teenage girl, a corrupt millionaire, and an elderly scientist approach the disaster looming over that luxurious world.
A read for those who enjoy historical fiction and suspense set in ancient Rome.
