"Rowe's 18th series whodunit surpasses her own high standard .
Rowe's series remains a welcome complement to Ruth Downie's Medicus
mysteries, which provide a different perspective on Roman Britain"
- Publishers Weekly Starred Review The arrival of a high-ranking
spy for the Emperor Severus spells trouble for Libertus in this
gripping historical mystery set in 2nd century Britain. On a misty
day in February, CE 194, Libertus, pavement maker by trade and now
reluctant councillor, is summoned to meet his patron at the local
public baths. Marcus Septimus is concerned because a distant cousin
from Rome has announced his impending arrival and Marcus is
convinced he is a spy for the Emperor Severus, despatched to Glevum
to investigate reports of an 'act of treason.' Meanwhile, Libertus
has concerns of his own. The local money-lender has been seeking
his counsel, but before they can meet, a violent and untimely death
occurs . and before long Libertus finds himself a prisoner of his
new-found rank, fighting for the truth amidst accusations of
treason and murder.
