There Will Be Bodies is a forthcoming historical crime novel by British writer Lindsey Davis, the thirteenth in her Flavia Albia series.

[2] The book is set in Stabiae, near Mount Vesuvius, Italy, in 89AD, ten years after its eruption.

[1][2] The cover of the first UK hardback edition shows a battered sculptured head half-buried in glowing embers.

[1] Davis has said that it represents Tyche, goddess of fortune and owner of the first set of dice, wearing a mural crown.

[4] The American first edition cover shows a woman with a dagger looking through the atrium of a villa towards a man with his back to her: Vesuvius is visible in the distance.
