The year is 52 B.C. and the body of Publius Clodius is about to be carried through the streets of Rome. Now Clodius rival, Milo, is being targeted for revenge. An explosive trial will feature the oration of Cicero and Marc Antony, while Gordianus the Finder has been charged by Pompey the Great himself to look further into the murder, as the city teeters on the verge of chaos. Martin's Press.
 
Annotation:
In 52 B.C. Caesar and Pompey vie for control of the Roman Empire. Within the city a lesser but no less vehement battle is underway between Pompey's underling, Titus Milo, and Publius Clodius for control of Rome. When Clodius is murdered, Gordianus the Finder must investigate what really happened to prevent the city from breaking out in violence.

 

Praise
Kirkus
"As always, Saylor sketches the real-life historical background with a masterly hand." 04/15/96

New York Times Book Review
"Mr. Saylor puts such great detail and tumultuous life into his scenes that the sensation of rubbing elbows with the ancients is quite uncanny." - Marilyn Stasio 06/09/1996

Washington Post Book World
"While it is the likable Gordianus who draws us into this world, it is the details that keep us there...Scholars might be able to spot flawed details in Saylor's Rome, but most will find this work wonderfully and gracefully researched." - Jim Marks 06/16/1996

Lambda Book Report
"This fifth novel in Saylor's 'Roma Sub Rosa' series is as richly detailed and satisfying as the previous four. Each is based on one of Cicero's famous defenses, this one on the Pro Milone....From these he has constructed a tantalizing mystery and vivid historical novel." July/1996
