Gordianus the Finder, detective of Ancient Rome, returns in a riveting sequence of stories. Nine tales of mystery, murder and intrigue take Gordianus from the seamy streets of Rome to elegant villas on the Bay of Naples, from a Sicilian graveyard with a deadly secret to a bloody battlefield in Spain, from the spectacular backdrop of a chariot race to a domestic dispute with his exotic Egyptian concubine Bethesda.
In the title story, an exotic Nubian actress begs Gordianus to solve an impossible problem: how can she have just seen her beloved brother in the market place when she had earlier watched him die a bloody death as a gladiator?
