'Him and his fancy fish-farm, raking it in hand over fist. He's a bastard. A greedy bastard. Some people, they'd be better off dead, know what I mean?'Baiae, jewel of the Campanian coast and favourite playground of Rome's great and not-so-good. Gaius Trebbio, the town drunk, has every reason to hate his erstwhile landlord Licinius Murena, and when the man (or what's left of him) is found dead in one of his own conger-eel tanks Trebbio is the prime suspect. Not the only one, though: there's also Murena's widow, half his age with a penchant for young doctors, plus his daughter and put-upon farm manager. And that's only the start...The tenth book in the Marcus Corvinus series.
