Críticas:

His learning shines through. He has a feel for ancient times yet uses modern dialogue. This neat trick manages to combine the atmosphere of the ancient world while moving the story quickly and assuredly on. Highly recommended - Yorkshire Evening Press Wishart writes economically and with pace - Nairnshire Telegraph Innate humour and pace - Irish Times A classical crime caper out of the top drawer. - Steve Craggs, Northern Echo I'll certainly be chasing up the previous Marcus Corvinus novels ... These are unusual detective tales - Scunthorpe Evening Telegraph David Wishart wields an entertaining stylus ... a terrific book to hole up with for the holidays - Scotland on Sunday A taut thriller in which ancient Rome springs to life - The Times With the toga-wearing sleuths of Lindsey Davis an dSteven Saylor prowling the alleys of Ancient Rome, is there room for Wishart's Marcus Corvinus? On this evidence the answer is resoundingly in the affirmative. - Times

Reseña del editor:

When Marcus Corvinus hears that his father in law, Priscus, has been accused of murder, it doesn't take Marcus long to get Priscus off the hook, but finding the real culprit proves tricky. Marcus uncovers betrayal, deceit and fraud, but the true motive has its roots in myth and history.
