Mystery Historical
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 . . .
