MURDER IN HADRIAN'S VILLA Imperial agent Gaius Flaminius Drusus is working undercover as a tribune in the Praetorian Guard. His remit is to investigate the death of Rufinus Crassus, the senator who died mysteriously after his assassination attempt on the emperor Hadrian. Commissary Centurion Probus thinks the senator was murdered by his fellow conspirators to keep him silent. Identifying the murderer takes them only a short time, but the investigation becomes more complicated when the murderer is poisoned, and Flaminius finds himself under suspicion. The empress gives him five days in which to identify the real murderer. Can Flaminius identify the true murderer and at the same time root out the conspirators before they can make a fresh bid for power? Or will he be tried and executed for murder?
