About This Book

Ancient Rome. One poisoned groom. One scandalous trial. One courtroom that could unravel the empire.

In the year 45 BC, just as Julius Caesar's grip on Rome tightens, a high-society wedding ends in shocking tragedy. Lucius Scaurus, young, handsome, and heir to influence, drops dead at his own pre-wedding banquet.

When the bride's mother, Helvia, is accused not just of murder, but of incest, the whispers of Rome turn to roars. Only one man dares to take her defense: the legendary orator Cicero.

As Roman aristocrats scheme and secrets fester, A Roman Death plunges readers into a richly layered historical thriller packed with political ambition, betrayal, lust, and lethal poison. But truth, like justice, is elusive, and the identity of the real killer will leave you gasping.

Perfect for fans of Steven Saylor, Lindsey Davis, and Robert Harris, this gripping novel blends historical fiction with courtroom drama in a way that's both page-turning and profound.

âœ" Ideal for readers of Ancient World Historical Romance, Mystery Romance, and Historical Thrillers

âœ" Features a previously unknown Cicero oration woven into the narrative

âœ" Rich with authentic detail, suspenseful plotting, and emotional twists
