Blackmail, corruption, treachery, murder--the glory that was Rome.In this Edgar Award-nominated mystery, John Maddox Roberts takes readers back to a Rome filled with violence and evil. Vicious gangs ruled the streets of Crassus and Pompey, routinely preying on plebeian and patrician alike, so the garroting of a lowly ex-slaved and the disembowelment of a foreign merchant in the dangerous Subura district seemed of little consequence to the Roman hierarchy. But Decius Caecilius Metellus the Younger--highborn commander of the local vigiles--was determined to investigate. Despite official apathy, brazen bribes, and sinister threates, Decius uncovers a world of corruption at the highest levels of his government that threatens to destroy him and the government he serves.

THE BUSBY BABES remain unique in British football. Emerging in a post-war 1950s era of austerity and rationing, they gave a glimpse of the youthful enthusiasm and talent that would emerge a decade later in music and art, while their untimley deaths, at the end of a snowy runway in Munich, inspired a devotion to Manchester United Football Club at odds with staid 1950s behaviour. In this, his fi nal update on his classic work, John Roberts revisits the original interviews he undertook with the relatives of the deceased and the survivors. What emerges is an unsentimental work that remains the greatest account of the tragedy.
