Rome, 63 BC. The struggle for power is on. Seven men are vying for control: Cicero, Caesar, Pompey, Crassus, Cato, Catilina, and Clodius. Their alliances and betrayals, cruelties and seductions, are all intertwined through the eyes of Tiro, Cicero's confidential secretary. Tiro knows all his master's secrets, a perilous position indeed. In this gripping thriller, Robert Harris masterfully weaves together the complex web of Roman politics, revealing the allure of power and the perils that attend it. Through Tiro's narrative, the real historical figures are brought to life, their stories expertly interwoven to create a thrilling tale of ambition, greed, and deception. Thoroughly engaging and expertly crafted, Lustrum is a gripping pacey read that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
