Description
In this engaging Roman mystery, physician Gaius Petreius Ruso and his British-born wife, Tilla, find themselves drawn into a dangerous investigation amid the uneasy cultural tensions of the Empire. What begins as a troubling case soon exposes secrets involving ambition, commerce, and the precarious lives of those living far from Rome’s center of power. Combining sharp historical detail with dry wit, vivid characterization, and an absorbing whodunit, the novel explores marriage, loyalty, justice, and the clash between Roman and provincial worlds.
