Rome, 58 AD.
Aemilius Valerius is on the up and up. His reputation has been rehabilitated, he has established a fledgling career, and he has new friends in very powerful places. When one of those new friends, the poet Lucan, is attacked, Valerius is given an offer he canโt refuse: find the culprits before they strike again. But when every man in Lucanโs circle of poets and playwrights and artists is potentially a suspect, each one of them competing for the emperorโs favor, how is Valerius supposed to tell the difference between petty jealousy and murderous rage?
Meanwhile, the Vigile Junius Atreus has his own violent crime to investigate, and the more he and Valerius dig around, the murkier and more dangerous things become.
Can Valerius and Atreus solve the crimes and save their reputationsโand their livesโbefore the Juvenalia, Neroโs birthday extravaganza of poetry, plays, musical performances, and dance? On the plus side, if they get murdered, at least they wonโt have to sit through that.
