Synopsis
A mystery of Roman Britain, featuring the on-going sleuth, pavement-maker and freedman Libertus, who is resident in Glevum (Roman Gloucester), a city of rich Roman aristocrats, well-armed Roman soldiers and native and foreign freedmen and slaves. Once again Libertus is enmeshed in the murky politicking and scheming of wealthy Romans and the impact of their presence on the local and slave communities. And his own life will be endangered before he can bring the guilty parties to justice.

Review
'Libertus himself is a highly diverting character, the story moves briskly along at chariot pace and there are many diversions along the highways and byways of Roman and Celtic life' Northern Echo
A PATTERN OF BLOOD:
'Demonstrates Rowe's pithy command of the Roman sleuth genre... A considerable achievement' The Times
'Solving puzzles and murder mysteries in the second century AD is something the freedman and mosaicist Libertus does well. And this engaging and sympathetic character once again has a date with danger and double dealing... Her gentle yet pacy writing style ensures that the action never flags as Libertus is drawn into a deadly web of intrigue... Her keen eye for detail ensures that the interesting array of characters who populate her novel are totally credible as are the surroundings in which they find themselves' Western Morning News
THE GERMANICUS MOSAIC:
'Lots of local and historical colour... The story is agreeably written, gets on briskly with its plot, and ends with a highly satisfactory double-take solution'
Gerald Kaufman, Scotsman
'A traditional country-house mystery translated to the Roman world - even featuring the mandatory body in the bibliotheca... Rowe has had the clever idea of making her detective-figure a mosaicist, and, therefore, an expert in puzzles and patterns. Into the bargain, he is a freed Celtic slave, and thus an outsider to the brutalities of the conquerors, and a character with whom the reader can sympathise... There are charming details about innocent life on the fringes of empire' Independent
