In 80BC, Gordianus the Finder is hired to investigate the murder of Sextus Roscius, an Umbrian landowner accused of killing his own father. As he delves into the case, Gordianus navigates a complex web of deceit and conspiracy in a society where trust is hard to come by. With real historical characters and based on a famous case from Cicero's Orations, this book offers a unique blend of history and suspense. As Gordianus digs deeper, he uncovers a tangled plot that puts him in grave danger. Can he uncover the truth before it's too late? This is a gripping tale of mystery and intrigue, set against the backdrop of ancient Rome's tumultuous politics and social hierarchy.
