'When you read this, Corvinus, both I and my wife Ennia will be dead, on the emperor's orders. What excuse he'll offer publicly or in private I don't know, but whatever it is it will be the product of misinformation and calumny.'When Marcus Corvinus is given a letter from Sertorius Macro, the Emperor Gaius's erstwhile adviser forced into suicide for plotting against him, asking him to clear the dead man's name, he isn't keen on the job at all: rifling through the political dirty laundry basket is currently just too damn dangerous. However, when the inconsistencies begin to mount up he is firmly hooked.The thirteenth book in the Marcus Corvinus series.

Dion, Macro's former secretary, delivers a posthumous letter from Macro to Marcus Corvinus asking him to clear Macro's name. As soon becomes apparent, Macro never had a secretary called Dion and the letter is a forgery.

It's been a long time since I last read a book in this series, so I didn't always follow references to previous events, but I still love Corvinus's narrative voice. I really mustn't leave such a long gap next time.
