Review
Like Chandler's Marlowe, Corvinus wisecracks his way through a weary world of murder and intrigue until he hunts down the truth. A taut thriller in which ancient Rome springs to life * The Times * There's lots of action and a nice plot, full of suspense, to keep you going * Sunday Telegraph * Praise for David Wishart:Witty, engrossing and ribald . . . it misses nothing in its evocation of a bygone time and place' * Independent on Sunday * Classic scholar Wishart . . . provides ample historical color to smooth the slow journey to a solution. * Kirkus Reviews *

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Marcus Corvinus feels his heart sink when he is summoned by Empress Livia. Age has not sweetened her and she's about as trustworthy as a snake with a migraine.

And uncovering a multi-stranded web of betrayal and deceit that threatens the imperial succession and even Emperor Tiberius himself. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR002923849
