From the Publisher
If there’s one thing Marcus Corvinus hates more than doing the household accounts, it’s politics. So when he’s interrupted in the former to get involved in the latter, he’s not at all pleased. His brief is to conduct an unofficial investigation into an attack on the Parthian Prince Phraates, a task that taxes his meager diplomatic skills to the utmost. When the attack is followed by the murder of one of the Parthian delegation, a full diplomatic incident threatens. The byzantine twists and turns of the case give Corvinus a headache that rivals his customary hangover, and it takes a violent threat to his wife Perilla before he gets a grip on what’s really happening.
