Items related to Germanicus
Marcus Corvinus feels his heart sink when he is summoned by Empress Livia. Age has not sweetened her and she's about as trustworthy as a snake with a migraine. But Livia has a way of asking a favour that is impossible to refuse - which is how Marcus finds himself investigating the death of her grandson, Germanicus. And uncovering a multi-stranded web of betrayal and deceit that threatens the imperial succession and even Emperor Tiberius himself.

Review:
Classic scholar Wishart . . . provides ample historical color to smooth the slow journey to a solution. (Kirkus Reviews)
There's lots of action and a nice plot, full of suspense, to keep you going (Sunday Telegraph)
Like Chandler's Marlowe, Corvinus wisecracks his way through a weary world of murder and intrigue until he hunts down the truth. A taut thriller in which ancient Rome springs to life (The Times)
