✦ Synopsis

The Roman civil war has come to its conclusion - Pompey is dead, Egypt
is firmly under the control of Cleopatra (with the help of Rome's
legions), and for the first time in many years Julius Caesar has
returned to Rome itself. Appointed by the Senate as Dictator, the city
abounds with rumors asserting that Caesar wishes to be made King - the
first such that Rome has had in centuries. And that not all of his
opposition has been crushed.

Gordianus, recently returned from
Egypt with his wife Bethesda, is essentially retired from his previous
profession of '-Finder' but even he cannot refuse the call of Calpurnia,
Caesar's wife. Troubled by dreams foretelling disaster and fearing a
conspiracy against the life of Caesar, she had hired someone to
investigate the rumors. But that person, a close friend of Gordianus,
has just turned up dead - murdered -- on her doorstep. With four
successive Triumphs for Caesar's military victories scheduled for the
coming days, and Caesar more exposed to danger than ever before,
Calpurnia wants Gordianus to uncover the truth behind the rumored
conspiracies -- to protect Caesar's life, before it is too late. No fan
of Caesar's, Gordianus agrees to help - but only to find the murderer
who killed his friend. But once an investigation is begun, there's no
controlling what it will turn up, who it will put in danger, and where
it will end.
