Information

AD81. The Roman Emperor Domitian seizes power. Afflicted by classic paranoia, the self-styled Master and God sees enemies everywhere - and he is right. The Senate loathes him, his advisers are terrified, he cannot trust his wife and barbarians menace the frontiers. As he vents his suspicions, no one is safe...Gaius Vinius Clodianus survives physical and mental scars to reach high rank in the Praetorian Guard. Flavia Lucilla tends the privileged women at court; when Domitian's inherited talent unravels into madness, she loses her patron cruelly. In the haven of their shared apartment, Gaius and Lucilla find solace together, yearning for normality while living in a Reign of Terror.

Praise for Lindsey Davis -- : 'Lindsey Davis ... brings her locations alive with the roar of cannon, the ache of hunger and the smell of fear' -- Guardian 'A fantastic historical whodunit' -- Daily Express 'Davis is adept at convincing us that her hero's anachronistically modern sensibility sits persuasively in ancient Rome' -- Barry Forshaw 'The plot is well-paced, with clever twists to keep the reader guessing' -- Times Literary Supplement 'The fans' expectations are higher than ever and are unlikely to be disappointed' -- The Bookseller 'Elegant and intelligent' -- Kirkus Reviews 'As gripping and enjoyable as usual' -- Literary Review
