    <![CDATA[With Titus Caesar in pursuit of his patrician girlfriend Helena, Marcus Didius Falco, the louche Roman sleuth is sent out of the way on an undercover mission to Roman Germany, where there has been trouble with the natives. There he must exercise his doubtful diplomatic skills on the very uncivil Civilis, a one-eyed Batavian rebel chieftain and must also persuade Veleda, a sinister tribal prophetess to desist from incessant rabble-rousing. But every rustling leaf heralds the approach of ancient ghosts, headhunting tribesmen, or primeval animals&#8230;]]>

    <body><![CDATA[<br/>Enjoyed this but less than other Falco books - there's not much of a detective style unravelling a problem, just the question of whether or not Falco and co would survive. Since this book was the second in a single-volume trilogy, however, the answer to this was rather obvious from the start......]]></body>
