Description
In the far-flung provinces of the Roman Empire, medicus Gaius Petreius Ruso finds himself drawn into a dangerous investigation when an unsettling death exposes tensions beneath the surface of imperial order. As he pursues the truth, Ruso must navigate political suspicion, cultural conflict, and enemies who would rather see questions buried than answered. Blending historical authenticity with sharp humor, vivid period detail, and an engaging mystery, this richly atmospheric crime novel explores justice, identity, and the uneasy relationship between Rome and the people it rules.
