About this audiobook
Mystery in History
A man’s secrets live after his death!
Delivering a book is just the beginning for Argolicus as he leaves Rome to retire. But when he arrives to give the book to a young scholar, his father has just been murdered.
With just days to find the killer before his ship leaves, and visiting an unfamiliar city, Argolicus must probe the politics of the dying town. But with every investigation he makes, the circle of possibilities grows. Success seems out of reach and he must disappoint the family, until a ruffian accosts him and pieces fall into place.
Fans of Ruth Downie, Steven Saylor, and Lindsey Davis, jump forward in time to meet your new detective. The Roman Heir is the first book in the Argolicus mysteries set in Ostrogoth Italy. If you like a puzzling mystery and rich historical detail, you’ll love The Roman Heir.
Buy The Roman Heir now to go back in time when murder wasn’t a crime!
