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.
there's lots of action and a nice plot, full of suspense, to keep you going - Sunday TelegraphLike Chandler's Marlow, Corvinus wisecracks his way through a weary world of murder and intrigue until he hunts down the truthA taut thriller in which ancient Rome springs to life - The TimesPraise for David Wishart: 'Witty, engrossing and ribald ... it misses nothing in its evocation of a bygone time and place' - Independent on Sunday
