Spies of Rome

"A clever plot, filled with engaging characters, is topped off with more than one twist. Foreman has a keen, satirical eye for power politics... A thoroughly enjoyable thriller." David Boyle, author of Regicide.

Rome 26BC.

An infamous slave trader, Herennius, has been robbed and murdered. Stabbed in the chest.

Caesar himself has taken an interest in the crime.

Marcus Agrippa instructs one of his agents, Rufus Varro, to investigate. Varro must interview various party guests who were with Herennius on the night of the murder - including a corrupt advocate and an enigmatic young poet.

Everyone is a suspect, yet everyone is seemingly innocent.

In the meantime, Agrippa recruits Varro's bodyguard, the former gladiator, Manius, to infiltrate the inner circle of Publius Carbo, a dangerous demagogue. Intelligence suggests that Carbo and his followers are planning to launch an attack on the city's Jewish quarter.

But uncovering the truth will exact a price for the two agents.

Rome is a city full of secrets and peril. Enemies lurk in the shadows.

Blood and vengeance abound.

"A rollicking read, filled with action, intelligence and humour. The series goes from strength to strength." Michael Arnold, author of Traitor's Blood.

Recommended for fans of Steven Saylor, Robert Harris and Conn Iggulden.

Richard Foreman is the bestselling historical novelist of the Sword of Rome and Sword of Empire series. He has also written 'Band of Brothers: The Complete Campaigns', based upon Henry V and the Agincourt campaign, as well as a series of novels charting the rise of Augustus Caesar and Marcus Agrippa ('Augustus: Son of Rome' and 'Augustus: Son of Caesar'). He lives in London.

Praise for Spies of Rome: Blood & Honour

"A masterful and evocative depiction of a fledgling imperial Rome fraught with intrigue and at war with itself. The story and characters are as striking as the graffiti that adorns the violent city
