Product Description
A compelling mystery in an irresistible ancient Roman setting! Roman Army medic Gaius Petreius Ruso came to Britannia for a fresh start. A female corpse, a local slave girl, and a senior centurion who wants to strangle him surely weren't what he had in mind.
Gaius Petrius Ruso, a down-on-his-luck army doctor, succumbs to a moment of weakness and rescues an injured slave girl, Tilla, from the hands of her abusive owner. Now he has a slave who won't talk, can't cook, and drags trouble in her wake. Before he knows it, Ruso is caught in the middle of an investigation into the deaths of prostitutes working out of the local bar. Now Ruso must summon all his forensic knowledge to find a killer who may be after him next.
