Synopsis

Marcus Corvinus feels his heart sink when he is summoned by Empress Livia. Age has not sweetened her and she's about as trustworthy as a snake with a migraine. But Livia has a way of asking a favour that is impossible to refuse - which is how Marcus finds himself investigating the death of her grandson, Germanicus. And uncovering a multi-stranded web of betrayal and deceit that threatens the imperial succession and even Emperor Tiberius himself.

Media Reviews
Classic scholar Wishart . . . provides ample historical color to smooth the slow journey to a solution. * Kirkus Reviews *

Praise for David Wishart:
Witty, engrossing and ribald . . . it misses nothing in its evocation of a bygone time and place'

* Independent on Sunday *
There's lots of action and a nice plot, full of suspense, to keep you going * Sunday Telegraph *
Like Chandler's Marlowe, Corvinus wisecracks his way through a weary world of murder and intrigue until he hunts down the truth. A taut thriller in which ancient Rome springs to life * The Times *
