The Roman aqueducts are being polluted by body parts. A serial killer is kidnapping and dismembering women during the holidays. It's up to Falco and Petro to locate the killer before it's too late and another woman is kidnapped and murdered. (

La aparición de una mano en los sistemas de conducción de agua pública de Roma obliga a Marco Didio Falco a emprender una investigación para desenmascarar al asesino en serie que tiene aterrorizadas a las jovencitas romanas. Por otro lado, la reciente parternidad y su asociación profesional con su fiel amigo Petronio le darán algunos quebraderos de cabeza adicionales. La investigación le llevará a recorrer el ingenioso sistema de conducción de agua de Roma hasta la campiña y a entrar en contacto con lo que sin duda es un antecedente de la mafia.

It would seem that the Rome water supply holds many body parts. This would be Falco, and Petro's, formerly of the Vigiles, first case. The duo begin to suspect a serial killer has been operating for many years. Killings linked to the public festivals, of which one is upcoming. (

Just a slight spoiler: the "three hands" of the title is not a metaphor, they're actual decomposing body parts in the City's water system.
This is another good one from Davis -- not the best in the series, but right in line with the quality stuff you'd expect. (

"When [the water pipe] has reached the city, build a reservoir with a distribution tank in three compartments. . . from the central tank pipes will be laid to all the basins as fountains; from the second tank to the baths so they may yield annual income to the state; and from the third, to private houses, so that water for public use will not run short."
Vitruvius

"I ask you! Just compare with the vast monuments of this vital aqueduct network those useless Pyramids, or the good-for-nothing tourist attractions of the Greeks!"
Frontius, tr. Trevor Hodge

"Let's have a drink — and leave out the water!"
