Germanicus Summary

Germanicus by David Wishart

Marcus Corvinus feels his heart sink when he is summoned by the Empress Livia. Age has not sweetened her and she's about as trustworthy as a snake with a migraine. But Livia has a way of asking a favour that is impossible to refuse - which is how Marcus finds himself investigating the death of her grandson, Germanicus. And uncovering a multi-stranded web of betrayal and deceit.

Germanicus Reviews

there's lots of action and a nice plot, full of suspense, to keep you going - Sunday Telegraph

Like Chandler's Marlow, Corvinus wisecracks his way through a weary world of murder and intrigue until he hunts down the truth. A taut thriller in which ancient Rome springs to life - The Times

Praise for David Wishart: 'Witty, engrossing and ribald ... it misses nothing in its evocation of a bygone time and place' - Independent on Sunday
