Title : The Riddle of Catiline - Steven Saylor - book
Summary :
Political intrigue and murder in ancient Rome
At the request of Cicero, who has become consul, Gordian is tasked with monitoring Catiline, a corrupt senator, populist, and demagogue suspected of plotting against the Republic, plotting assassinations, and dreaming of dictatorship. Plunged into a murky world, Gordian falls under Catiline's spell. And murders multiply. As in every Gordian investigation, the historical reconstruction is full of lessons—funeral rites, gastronomy, sexual mores—that cleverly spice up the story.
For Pierre Hebey (Elle), "the pleasure this author provides is constant and, what's more, is of no less constant quality. A healthy recreation."
