A Murder on the Appian Way

In 52 BC, the murder of the ambitious politician Clodius Pullo on the Appian Way ignites a deadly conspiracy that pulls Rome's most brilliant minds into its wake. Gordianus the Finder, a resourceful investigator, is drawn into the case alongside the great orator Cicero, as the two men race to uncover the truth behind Clodius's death and the forces manipulating the investigation. As the conspiracy deepens, the line between ally and enemy blurs, and the fate of the Republic hangs in the balance.
