Content

Rome, with Cicero, Caesar, Pompey and Crassus – are the central playes in the quest for power. These real historicacal figures (and others, including the psychopathic Catilina) are stirred into a very heady brew by the author when the body of a child, grotesquely mutilated, is discovered. The trial and execution that follows plunges the city of Rome into a ferment as destabilising as anything it has faced.
