CBC Showcase: From the Ancient World
The seventh volume in the popular series of mysteries set in ancient Rome, widely praised for their fast-paced plots, well-drawn characters, and authentic Roman setting.
by Caroline Lawrence
It's February, A.D. 80. A fever that started in Ostia is sweeping through Rome. Doctor Mordecai is summoned to Rome to bring his healing skills to the plague victims, and Jonathan, Flavia, Nubia, and Lupus are also called by the Emperor to investigate its cause. The friends' sleuthing takes them from the Imperial Palace to Tiber Island, but Jonathan is distracted by a secret mission of his own to reunite his family. Suddenly, he finds that everything is terrifyingly out of control.
