Decius Caecilius Metellus, this year's magistrate for cases
involving foreigners, thinks he is merely visiting one of the local
attractions of southern Italy when he takes a party to visit the
Oracle of the Dead, a pre-Roman cult site located at the end of a
tunnel dug beneath a temple of Apollo. But there is a bitter
rivalry between the priests of Apollo and those of Hecate, who
guard the oracle, and when the priests are all killed, the
countryside looks to explode in violence as Greeks, Romans, and
native Italians of several conquered nations bring out old
enmities.
This riveting historical series began with the Edgar
Award-nominated "SPQR I: The King's Gambit" and has gone on to
international success in thirteen languages.
