A compelling new mystery for Libertus, set against the backdrop of
the Roman Empire in turmoil and fighting for its survival . . .
Libertus is passing the villa of his patron, Marcus Septimus
Aurelius, when he sees an elaborate travelling carriage which has
pulled up outside and is now blocking the road. Recognising that
this may be an important visitor, Libertus approaches the carriage,
intending to explain that Marcus is away, gone to Rome to visit his
old friend Pertinax, who has recently been installed as Emperor.
However, for his efforts, Libertus instead receives a torrent of
abuse and the carriage-driver almost runs him down as he departs.
Libertus is badly shaken, but goes back to the villa the next day
to find out why there was no gate-keeper in evidence to deal with
the stranger. There he finds a gruesome discovery: the man is dead
and hanging in his hut, and none of the other house-slaves are to
be found. Worse things are to follow as news arrives from Rome
which will turn the lives, not only of Libertus and his family, but
the whole Empire upside down . .
