Arcturus, the half-native, half-Roman doctor and occasional problem-solver, has seen much in his thirty-three years.
He's risen--despite not playing the politics game. He is the doctor and friend of Agricola, the governor of Britannia. He learns the governor is in trouble. He has seven days to unravel fact from story, truth from rumor, and motive from murder. He must walk a carnival landscape of fear and uncertainty, strewn with sadistic pimps, drunken whores, well-bred politicians... and four more deaths.
