Events from the turbulent reigns of Julius Caesar, Augustus, Caligula, and Nero provide the colorful background to tales ingeniously contrived by contributors like Paul Doherty, Gillian Bradshaw, and Richard Butler. While John Maddox Roberts offers a new SPQR story, Steven Saylor, Marilyn Todd, Rosemary Rowe, Darrell Schweitzer, and Michael Kurland challenge their sleuths Gordianus the Finder, Claudia, Libertus, Pliny the Younger, and Quintilian with baffling new cases. Mary Reed and Eric Mayer conjure new intrigue for John the Eunuch, and Peter Tremayne sends his Fidelma on the trail of a Roman legion lost in Ireland. In addition to the original stories specially commissioned for this volume, this book also includes such rare reprints as a Slave Detective story by Wallace Nichols and one of the earliest historical mysteries to be set in Rome, "De Crimine" by Miriam Allen de Ford. which features Cicero as the investigator. 371214 2003 The Mammoth Book of Roman Whodunnits total:9|5:1|4:6|3:1|2:1|1:0| 9 34 20 1 4 0 false false Sat Nov 07 22:03:17 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 07 22:04:10 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Oct 03 19:41:18 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 03 19:41:18 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jun 11 01:33:30 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 11 01:33:30 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed May 27 11:25:16 -0700 2009 Wed May 27 11:25:23 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun May 17 12:22:26 -0700 2009 Sun May 17 12:22:26 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Feb 28 12:53:05 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 28 12:53:05 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Mon Feb 16 18:39:18 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 16 18:39:18 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Thu Jan 15 08:24:54 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 15 08:24:54 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Mon Feb 02 21:09:22 -0800 2009 Mon Dec 15 20:16:39 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 02 21:09:22 -0800 2009 2 0 false false Sat Sep 06 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 06 15:05:16 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 06 15:05:34 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sat Jul 19 19:10:21 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 19 19:10:21 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Wed Jul 02 09:23:44 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 02 09:23:44 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Mon Jun 23 18:37:42 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 23 18:37:42 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Jun 04 20:04:05 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 05 13:04:22 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun May 25 16:20:17 -0700 2008 Sun May 25 16:20:17 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu May 22 20:08:33 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 24 06:44:27 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Apr 21 11:25:06 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 21 11:25:06 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Apr 07 12:05:32 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 07 12:05:36 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Wed Dec 26 10:45:13 -0800 2007 Wed Dec 26 10:45:13 -0800 2007 0 0 false false Tue Oct 23 22:26:47 -0700 2007 Tue Oct 23 22:26:47 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=381428
