The Case of Liber

A Murder Mystery of Ancient Rome (Book 3)

A hanged man, an estranged son, an angry business partner and a scramble for the dead man's estate.
A brutal attack on a rich slave-trader triggers a chain of events leading to his apparent suicide at the Festival of Liber. As the dead man's wife, son and business partner all claim ownership of his estate Secundus is thrown once more into an investigation he doesn't want to undertake.

As the clues begin to unravel Scavolo takes over the case and Secundus finds himself reassigned to a probe into corruption at a sister temple. Angry at Scavolo for his interference and convinced there is more to the death of the slave-trader, can Secundus find the killer as well as investigate whether there is a dishonest priest, or has he bitten off more than he can chew?

And while this is all happening Scavolo and Secundus' father have plans for him, plans that could change his life forever.
