Mystery covering (you guessed it)the time around 44 BCE, involving Caesar, Pompey, and the "sordid underbelly" (is there any other kind of underbelly?) of the City of Rome.
I am listing all the books in Steven Saylor's Rosa sub Roma series except the last one, which is on my wish list! This was a very enjoyable series...well written, educational (at least for me who previously had no interest in ancient Rome) and fun to see the progression of Gordianus the Finder's life.
You may want to order all of them because they're a fast read and, to me anyway, very addictive.

Much better than some of the previous novels in this series, the story has so many twists and turns it keeps you wondering what the truth is.
Nice sequeal to A Murder on the Appian Way.
