Steven Saylor's historical mysteries set in ancient Rome and featuring investigator Gordianus the Finder enjoy a widespread following in America. Over the next two years, Robinson will publish the whole series - five novels to date - in the UK. We begin on 25 September with three titles: Roman Blood and Arms of Nemesis in paperback and the most recent title, A Murder on the Appian Way, in hardback. Vivid historical fact, a completely believable world and keen plotting are the hallmarks of Saylor's novels. In Roman Blood Gordianus the Finder - the large, eccentric, philosophical investigator whose famed skills and integrity have made him much sought after in Rome - is hired by the young Cicero to acquit or convict a man accused of murdering his own father, an ugly, delicate case that soon produces dangerous fireworks.

This book was a required read for a Western Civilizations class. It ended up being a pretty good book...a good plot and interesting turns.

The First Book of the Roma Sub Rosa Series
Saylor knows Roman history quite well and certainly knows how to blend it with fictional characters of the era with this thriller that began with Roman Blood. This is first of the series that is hard to put down once you start. A real page turner!
