Synopsis

LUST. LOVE. REVENGE. COMING-OUT, Romance, ancient Roman-style. 130 years after Christ, but two centuries before Christians received legal recognition, Rome is ruled by pagan values. Caesar Hadrian's search for love destroys the very person he most adores. His loved one is found dead one dawn beneath the waters of Egypt's River Nile. Is it a youthful prank gone wrong, a suicide, a murder, or something even more sinister? Hadrian assigns historian Suetonius Tranquillus & his courtesan paramour Surisca to investigate. The Hadrian Enigma is the hidden record of Caesar's investigation into one of history's most intriguing, suspicious deaths. Hadrian learns more than he wanted in an era which sanctions unbridled sensuality in a macho culture of pride, honor, & shame.
