Mystery Historical
Decius Caecilius Metellus, this year’s magistrate for cases
involving foreigners, thinks he is merely visiting one of
the local attractions of southern Italy when he takes a
party to visit the Oracle of the Dead, a pre-Roman cult site
located at the end of a tunnel dug beneath a temple of
Apollo. But there is a bitter rivalry between the priests of
Apollo and those of Hecate, who guard the oracle, and when
the priests are all killed, the countryside looks to explode
in violence as Greeks, Romans, and native Italians of
several conquered nations bring out old enmities.This
riveting historical series began with the Edgar
Award–nominated SPQR I: The King’s Gambit and has gone on to
international success in thirteen languages.
