Mystery Historical
Decius Caecilius Metellus is moving up in the world. He’s
won some money and glory fighting pirates in the
Mediterranean and expects a speedy election to the office of
praetor.That all changes when a man he’s never seen before
publicly accuses him of corruption. Decius and his powerful
family of Rome’s leading politicians scramble to prepare a
defense. However, the day of the trial they are greeted with
a strange surprise on the steps of the courthouse: the
corpse of the man who made the accusation. Now Decius is up
against a much more serious charge of murder. It may cost
him his chance to run for office, but not if he can help it. Roberts once again masterfully sets Decius and his
adventures against the background of this famed and
crumbling Republic, enriching his story with historical
detail and the immortal personalities of the day.
