Description
In 50BC, Rome is shrouded in intrigue and deception. A cold January evening brings two strangers to the city - an Egyptian ambassador and a eunuch priest - both seeking the expertise of Gordianus the Finder. One asks for help staying alive, while the other requests justice for his murder. The night's events set Gordianus on a perilous path, as he delves into the highest echelons of power and the city's hidden world of corruption. As he investigates the ambassador's death, Gordianus uncovers a web of secrets that lead him to question everything - including the evidence, suspects, and truth behind the murder. With his reputation on the line, he must navigate treacherous alliances and hidden agendas to uncover the truth. A gripping mystery set against the backdrop of ancient Rome, The Venus Throw is a tale of deception, power, and the complexities of human nature.
