On a cold January evening in 50BC, two strangers enter Rome - one
an Egyptian ambassador and the other a eunuch priest. Both are
seeking Gordianus the Finder, who has a reputation for solving
murders. But the ambassador, a philosopher named Dio, asks for
something Gordianus cannot give - help in staying alive. And before
the night is out, Dio is brutally assassinated. Now Gordianus must
begin the most dangerous case of his career. Hired to investigate
Dio's murder by a beautiful woman with a scandalous reputation, he
will follow a trail of intrigue into the highest circles of
political power and the city's secret arenas of debauchery. There
Gordianus will learn that nothing is as it seems, not the damning
evidence he uncovers, nor the suspect he sends to trial, not even
the real truth behind Dio's death which also lies shrouded in
secrets - though not of the state, but of the heart.
