Synopsis
It is the morning after the nocturnal rite of the good Goddess, an all-female ceremony, and the body of a young woman has been found with her throat cut. Hoping to avoid scandal, Senator Lucius Arruntius calls in Marcus Corvinus to do some discreet sleuthing. Inevitably, to solve the mystery, Marcus must look beyond the obvious and untangle a complex web of treachery and deceit.

Review
Praise for SEJANUS:'Witty, engrossing and ribald . . . it misses nothing in its evocation of a bygone time and place' * Independent on Sunday * Praise for THE HORSE COIN:'enjoyable . . . an ingenious solution to this ancient mystery.' * Sunday Telegraph * With the toga-wearing sleuths of Lindsey Davis and Steven Saylor prowling the alleys of Ancient Rome, is there room for Wishart's Marcus Corvinus? On this evidence the answer is resoundingly in the affirmative. * The Times * Praise for OLD BONES:'His learning shines through. He has a feel for ancient times yet uses modern dialogue. This neat trick manages to combine the atmosphere of the ancient world while moving the story quickly and assuredly on. Highly recommended' * Yorkshire Evening Express *
