What is Murder in Purple and Gold about?
If you thought sports washing was a modern concept, Murder in Purple and Goldthe 14th entry in Lindsey Davis’ beloved Flavia Albia series of historical detective novels, shows how leisure, just as much as religion, and even arm in arm, has long been deployed as an opiate for the masses.
You would think that we would stop pinning our allegiance to the team colors rather than the athletes themselves, but that is not the case. When the body of Lepo, a young, promising charioteer, is discovered near Rome’s Circus Maximus, the motive and prime suspect are clear to all. Lepo had ridden in purple and shared a fierce rivalry with Agathon, who wore gold.
Flavia Albia suspects, however, that the matter is not as clear-cut as it seems. Lepo’s team benefited from the financial support – and oversight – of Emperor Domitian, an insecure dictator whose reign was characterized by violent expansionism, brazen propaganda and censorship of all dissent. Spoiler: it would all end in tears, none of them shedding for the man himself.
But this culture has a nasty habit of spreading and poisoning everything it touches, leading Flavia Albia to turn her attention to the inner workings of Lepo’s team.
