'His learning shines through. He has a feel for ancient times yet uses modern dialogue. This neat trick manages to combine the atmosphere of the ancient world while moving the story quickly and assuredly on. Highly recommended' - Old Bones - Yorkshire Evening Express; With the toga-wearing sleuths of Lindsey Davis an dSteven Saylor prowling the alleys of Ancient Rome, is there room for Wishart's Marcus Corvinus? On this evidence the answer is resoundingly in the affirmative.' - Old Bones - Times; 'enjoyable... an ingenious solution to this ancient mystery' - Horse Coin - Sunday Telegraph; 'Witty, engrossing and ribald... it misses nothing in its evocation of a bygone time and place' - Independent on Sunday
