No Cause for Concern

'I need a favour from you, Corvinus. Do what Occusia asks, and I'll be very grateful. Very grateful indeed. Turn her down, or fudge things, and - watch my lips here, please - you'll wish that you'd never been born. Your choice, absolutely no pressure. You understand?' Four years down the line, and Sempronius Eutacticus is still the charming, good-natured organized-crime boss that he was when they last met. Now his stepson has gone missing, and he wants Corvinus to trace him. Not that it should be difficult: young Titus has simply run off to join his uncle's acting troupe, and there really is no cause for concern. Until, of course, his body turns up. Novella length; the thirteenth book in the Marcus Corvinus series.
