"There could be a whole host of reasons why a wealthy young widow might be lured away to distant Sicily, but Orbilio could only think of one. One which put the life of Claudia Seferius in considerable danger...'
It just wasn't fair. When you marry a man for his money, you expect him to leave you a shining pile of gold pieces. Not a crummy old wine business. But that was Gaius Seferius's legacy to his beautiful young widow Claudia. And she'd needed that money to pay off her gambling debts.
So when Eugenius Collatinus asks her to act as chaperone for his granddaughter Sabina, who is returning home to Sicily after thirty years as a Vestal Virgin, Claudia jumps at the chance to escape Rome. Unfortunately - rather too late - it becomes clear that she is escorting an imposter...
Not that anyone in Sabina's decidedly strange family, headed by the crippled tyrant Eugenius, seems to realize this, though. Thank Jupiter for their sane - and particularly handsome - Greek physician Diomedes...
Back in Rome, investigator Marcus Cornelius Orbilio fears that Claudia is in very great danger. And there's only one thing he can do: go to Sicily and save that delicious neck of hers.
But then, in the grounds of the Collatinus house, a woman's brutalized body is discovered...
