Item description from seller

511 p. Tadelloses Exemplar / impeccable copy. - Gordianus the Finder, disillusioned by the corruption and intrigue of Rome, has retired with his family to his farm in the Etruscan countryside. But his would-be country idyll is disrupted by the machinations and murderous plots of two politicians: Roman consul Cicero and populist senator Catilina, Ciceros political rival and a candidate to replace him as consul. Claiming that Catilina plans an uprising if he loses the election, Cicero asks Gordianus to keep a watchful eye on the radical. Although he distrusts both men and wants nothing to do with their rivalry, a headless corpse that ominously appears on his farm proves to Gordianus that he can no longer sit on the sidelines. With his family in danger, the time has come for Gordianus to untangle a complex web of deceit, lies, intrigue, and murder before Rome itself is torn apart. Steven Saylor (born March 23, 1956) is an American author of historical novels. He is a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, where he studied history and classics. Saylor's best-known work is his Roma Sub Rosa historical mystery series, set in ancient Rome. The novels' hero is a detective named Gordianus the Finder, active during the time of Sulla, Cicero, Julius Caesar, and Cleopatra. Outside this crime novel series, Saylor has also written three epic-length historical novels about the city of Rome, Roma, Empire, and Dominus. His work has been published in 21 languages.
