Mystery Historical
Caius Julius Caesar, now Dictator of Rome, has decided to
revise the Roman calendar, which has become out of sync with
the seasons. As if this weren’t already an unpopular move,
Caesar has brought in astronomers and astrologers from
abroad, including Egyptians, Greeks, Indians and Persians.
Decius is appointed to oversee this project, which he knows
rankles the Roman public: “To be told by a pack of Chaldeans
and Egyptians how to conduct their duties towards the gods
was intolerable.” Not long after the new calendar project begins, two of the
foreigners are murdered. Decius begins his investigations
and, as the body count increases, it seems that an Indian
fortuneteller popular with patrician Roman ladies is also
involved.
