Mystery Historical
A turbulent frontier province, rotten with corruption and
seething with hatred of Rome—a barbarian god whose devotees
may include a murderer —a clever and unscrupulous faith
healer who knows everyone’s secrets—a boy who struggles
toward manhood though stricken with the Sacred Disease:
these are the elements in a mystery that Pliny, newly
appointed governor of Bithynia, confronts when a high Roman
official is found murdered on a desolate hillside, miles
from the capital. But as Pliny pursues one baffling lead
after another, he is being betrayed where he least expects
it: his beautiful wife, neglected and lonely in an alien
city, falls desperately in love with a handsome young
provincial—an affair which threatens to bring not only pain
but ruin to Pliny’s career. All these threads come together
in a surprising and tragic finale.
