In Rome, in 80 B.C., Gordianus the Finder is hired by Cicero, a brilliant and ambitious young orator about to defend his first case, to investigate a wealthy farmer accused of the murder of his father, in a novel based on an actual case
Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
A thrilling puzzle from the ancient world with real historical characters and based on a case in Cicero's Orations Roman Blood is a perfect blend of mystery and history by a brilliant storyteller. On an unseasonably warm spring morning in 80BC, Gordianus the Finder is summoned to the house of Cicero, a young advocate and orator preparing his first important case. His client is Umbrian landowner, Sextus Roscius, accused of the unforgivable: the murder of his own father. Gordianus agrees to investigate the crime - in a society fire with deceit, betrayl and conspiracy, where neither citizen nor slave can be trusted to speak the truth. But even Gordianus is not prepared for the spectacularly dangerous fireworks that attend the resolution of this ugly, delicate case...
Steven Saylor's fascination with Ancient Rome began in childhood. A history graduate and former newspaper and magazine editor, he has now completed numerous novels featuring Gordianus the Finder. He lives in Berkeley, California.
