Stolen gold, a dead priest and a mystery fit for the gods

Rome’s treasures are gone and a priest lies dead within the burned-out shell of the Temple of Vulcan. Did he die a hero protecting the riches stored at the temple as everyone says or is there a more sinister reason for his death?

Facing financial ruin if he cannot find the missing gold and silver, Secundus makes enemies of Rome’s rich and powerful as he grapples with hostile priests, corrupt patricians and a mystery which seems to hold no clues. From the depths of the fire comes hope as a potential new home appears on the market and his attention is drawn away from the murder to more domestic affairs.

And then as all hope of a solution to the mystery seem lost the gods gift him a sign and he is plunged into a frantic search for the truth as time passes and his patron demands answers or payment. With hours to spare Secundus must choose to risk his all on a last throw of the dice or see his family disgraced in this next thrilling murder mystery in Ancient Rome.
