Synopsis
N.B. R S Downie is published in the US as Ruth Downie and this book, "Ruso and the Demented Doctor", is published in the US as "Terra Incognita". It's wind-swept North Britannia, where the natives are in the mood for killing ...Gaius Petreius Ruso, medicus to the Twentieth Legion, has been posted to the hostile north - and thrown into a no-win situation. Thessalus, the current doctor at the Fort of Coria, has confessed to a grisly murder and his Prefect demands Ruso take charge of the patients and convince Thessalus to retract his confession. Or else. It seems a reputation for solving tricky murders down south isn't always helpful. Unfortunately, the corpse is offering up few answers other than to suggest that the natives might be more murderous than restless. If Ruso is to identify the killer, he'll need all his wits about him to keep Romans, natives and slave girls from each other's throats.

Ruso and the Demented Doctor
Seller: Hamelyn, Madrid, M, Spain
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: Good. : En la ventosa Britania del Norte, donde los nativos están de humor para matar. Gaius Petreius Ruso, médico de la Vigésima Legión, ha sido destinado al hostil norte y se encuentra en una situación sin salida. Thessalus, el actual médico del Fuerte de Coria, ha confesado un espantoso asesinato y su Prefecto exige que Ruso se haga cargo de los pacientes y convenza a Thessalus de que se retracte de su confesión. O si no. Parece que una reputación por resolver asesinatos difíciles en el sur no siempre es útil. Desafortunadamente, el cadáver está ofreciendo pocas respuestas aparte de sugerir que los nativos podrían ser más asesinos que inquietos. Si Ruso quiere identificar al asesino, necesitará todo su ingenio para evitar que romanos, nativos y esclavas se degüellen entre sí.
