Assigned by the Emperor Domitian to search for blood heirs to Emperor Augustus, Pliny and Tacitus seek solutions to layers of mysteries. Why is a humble workman's death important to the ruler of Rome, and what connects him to Pliny's household? How do Domitian's suspicions relate to the niece of Pliny's old friend and mentor? Is Tacitus' father-in-law, Agricola, a villain, victim or savior? Like a sinister red line slashed through a carefully prepared manuscript, the legacy of Augustus marks the connections.

      Starred review from June 1, 2008
      When the body of a mason is found in the library of current Princeps (first citizen) Domitian, Pliny the Younger is asked by his mother to find the killer. At the same time, Domitian orders Pliny and his friend Tacitus to find out if there is a real heir to the throne. Their exploits in Syria ("All Roads Lead to Murder") have reached the ears of all in Rome, and they now have the reputation of being competent detectives. Readers will delight in the duo's tracing of Caesar's blood line; walking with Pliny through his daily routine is entertaining, too. Outstandingly researched and laden with suspense, this journey into ancient Rome by history professor Bell could be one of the masterpieces of the historical mystery genre. Lindsey Davis and Steven Saylor will hold readers over until the third casebook of Pliny the Younger publishes. Highly recommended for all collections.
