Steven Saylor's Roma Sub Rosa series follows Gordianus the Finder, an investigator working in the final decades of the Roman Republic. Roman Blood places him in a murder case connected with the young Cicero, while Arms of Nemesis, Catilina's Riddle and later novels bring him into contact with political struggles and famous figures as Rome moves towards civil war.

The series combines historical mystery with real political events, using a fictional detective to examine how private crimes intersect with public power. Read more Less
