Description

Flavia Albia is faced with her most complex case yet, sparked by an unpaid bar bill. Decades ago, Appius Tranquillus Surus wrote his will, freeing his slaves and bequeathing his businesses to them. However, the arrangement has led to a bitter feud between the Prisci and Surus families, each with their own internal strife. The original will and a falsified codicil have disappeared, leaving lawyers frustrated and the case in limbo. As the investigation unfolds, Flavia must navigate decades of secrets, lies, and violence to reach the truth. A potential solution lies in the union of two young individuals from opposing sides, Gaius Venuleius and Cosca Sabatina, who have fallen in love. However, their relationship is complicated by the question of whether Sabatina's grandmother and father were truly liberated in the Surus will. Flavia's determination to uncover the truth may hold the key to reconciliation, but it will require her to cut through a web of deceit and uncover a startling truth. The case of the Surus will is a tangled and complex one, with endless claims and counterclaims that have led to violence and death. Flavia Albia must use all her skills and experience to untangle the threads of this bitter dispute and bring justice to those involved.
