Description: Libertus, freedman and pavement-maker, is in Londinium at the invitation of the Roman Governor when news arrives of the brutal murder of Caius Monnius, the chief corn-officer of the city. Still reeling from the shock of catching sight of the wife he lost to slavery twenty years ago, only to lose her again, the ever-inquisitive Libertus is, for once, uninterested in unmasking the murderer. But when the Roman Governor asks you to investigate.
