Book Eleven in the Roma Sub Rosa Series May 2, 2008
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
Steven Saylor's fascination with Ancient Rome began in childhood. A history graduate and former newspaper and magazine editor, he lives in Berkeley, California and has a huge number of fans of the Sub Rosa series he has written featuring Gordianus the Finder.
For avid readers of Saylor's books, this one will have been well worth waiting for, particularly as it features the return of the wonderful character of Gordianus the Finder, Ancient Rome's answer to the modern day private detective. Gordianus, along with the character of Marcus Didius Falco from the Lindsey Davis books are my favourite characters from any of the Roman whodunnits gracing the book shelves at the moment.
The civil wars that have plagued Rome are now over. Pompey, one of the main protagonists is dead. His opponent Caesar has returned to Rome amid rumours that not all of the resistance has been quashed. Nonetheless the Roman senate has appointed him as Dictator. He is not the only Roman to return home. Gordianus and his wife, Bethesda has recently returned from Egypt. Gordianus has retired from his profession of `Finder' but finds it impossible to refuse a call from Calpurnia, Caesar's wife.
Rumours abound about plots and conspiracy against the life of Caesar and the person hired by Calpurnia to look into these conspiracies, has turned up dead on her own doorstep. Gordianus agrees to help, but not from any love for Caesar. The person found dead on Calpurnia's doorstep was a friend of Gordianus and for old times sake Gordianus will do everything in his power to find the killer.
