In the blazing July heat of imperial Rome, Flavia Albia inspects a
decomposing corpse. It has been discovered in lots to be auctioned
by her family business, so she's determined to identify the dead
man and learn how he met his gruesome end. The investigation will
give her a chance to work with the magistrate, Manlius Faustus, the
friend she sadly knows to be the last chaste man in Rome. But he's
got other concerns than her anonymous corpse. It's election time
and with democracy for sale at Domitian's court, tension has come
to a head. Faustus is acting as an agent for a 'good husband and
father', whose traditional family values are being called into
question. Even more disreputable are his rivals, whom Faustus wants
Albia to discredit. As Albia's and Faustus' professional and
personal partnership deepens they have to accept that, for others,
obsession can turn sour, and become a deadly strain that leads,
tragically, to murder.
