Rubicon: A Novel of Ancient Rome

Title: Rubicon: A Novel of Ancient Rome
Author: Steven Saylor

Your thoughts:
I really enjoyed this book. I love mysteries and historical novels. Although this author is new to me, I found his easy to read. Pompey asks Gordianus the Finder to find the murderer of one of Pompey's slaves. Pompey takes Gordianus' son-in-law into his army to ensure that Gordianus will solve the case. This was great! Gordianus meets up with Marc Antony, Caesar and Cicero as he travels through Italy. This would be great to ILL!
