Description
Gordianus the Finder returns in this gripping collection of nine tales. Murder and intrigue unfold across Rome and the Bay of Naples, from seedy streets to elegant villas, as Gordianus navigates complex cases and personal relationships. In one story, a beautiful Nubian actress seeks his help with an impossible problem: how can she have seen her brother alive in the market place when he had previously died as a gladiator? Other tales take him to chariot races and domestic disputes, each presenting its own unique challenges for the renowned detective. With his skills put to the test, Gordianus must use all his experience to unravel the mysteries that surround him. This collection of stories showcases his remarkable abilities as a detective and offers a fascinating glimpse into life in Ancient Rome.
