Rome, 63 BC. In a city on the brink of acquiring a vast empire,
seven men are struggling for power. Cicero is consul, Caesar his
ruthless young rival, Pompey the republic's greatest general,
Crassus its richest man, Cato a political fanatic, Catilina a
psychopath, Clodius an ambitious playboy. The stories of these real
historical figures - their alliances and betrayals, their cruelties
and seductions, their brilliance and their crimes - are all
interleaved to form this epic novel. Its narrator is Tiro, a slave
who serves as confidential secretary to the wily, humane, complex
Cicero. He knows all his master's secrets - a dangerous position to
be in. From the discovery of a child's mutilated body, through
judicial execution and a scandalous trial, to the brutal unleashing
of the Roman mob, Lustrum is a study in the timeless enticements
and horrors of power.
