Nine new tales of mystery, murder and intrigue take Gordianus
the Finder, detective of Ancient Rome, from the seamy streets
of Rome and elegant villas on the Bay of Naples, to a Sicilian

Whether working against the spectacular backdrop of a chariot

concubine, Bethesda, Gordianus is always on the case. Nothing
fazes him even the impossible problem posed in the title story
by a beautiful Nubian actress: how can she have seen her
beloved gladiator brother alive in the marketplace, when she
had earlier witnessed his gruesome death in the arena? A
gladiator dies only once! But nothing is impossible in this
entertaining new collection of short stories in the acclaimed
Roma sub Rosa series.
