Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Continuing his series of mysteries set in ancient Rome and featuring Gordianus the Finder, Saylor's latest concerns the murder of an Egyptian ambassador.
Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From Library Journal
The author of Catalina's Riddle (LJ 9/15/93) re-creates the corrupt Rome of 56 B.C., when Egypt still remains free. Because several Egyptian envoys have been murdered, the Egyptian ambassador asks series "sleuth" Gordianus the Finder for assistance.
