Product Description

Product Description

The murdered body of a visiting ambassador from Rome is discovered in the temple of the Imperial cult and once again freedman and pavement-maker Libertus is called upon to investigate. Events take a bizarre and chilling turn when the body disappears, and then unearthly wails are heard coming from the temple and mysterious bloodstains start to appear from nowhere. But Libertus is sure there is a more human explanation for the murder and he is to uncover still more unsettling events before the truth is finally revealed...

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Libertus yet..., 2 May 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Legatus Mystery (Hardcover)
If you have read the previous Libertus books, then you know what to expect: a cracking mystery laced with fascinating details of Roman life, and believable characters. The pace of the series continues to build - Libertus is getting better known after his brushes with Imperial Rome - and this attention brings its own dangers, especially when the Gods are involved!

The mystery is solid (Rowe again kept me guessing to the end - and again I had guessed wrong!), and believable.

The best Roman series currently around just got better...

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Excellent Offering in the Libertus Mysteries, 13 Feb 2007
By J. Chippindale (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
Rosemary Rowe is the pseudonym of Rosemary Aitken, a highly qualified academic, who has written more than half a dozen bestselling textbooks on English Language and communication. She has written fiction for many years under her married name.

The murdered body of a visiting ambassador from Rome brings preparations for the Emperor's birthday to an abrupt halt and yet again Libertus is called in to help in the investigations. The case becomes even more mysterious when the body disappears and then unearthly wails and mysterious bloodstains start to appear from nowhere.

The townspeople, already riddled with their own superstitions are gripped with terror and Libertus finds himself in extreme danger when he becomes the target of an angry mob, accusing him of angering the gods and demanding his death in an attempt to appease them. Nothing is as it appears and Libertus begins to uncover more unsettling events and yet more deaths before the truth can finally be revealed.
