Guardian Bookshop Notes:

The newest novel from the bestselling author of "Fatherland" and "Enigma". This political thriller is the second in a planned trilogy set in Ancient Rome, where the Gods are merciless and conspiracy is rife. This story features the return of Cicero who must testify in a court case that could sew the seeds of his own downfall. Harris's first Rome novel "Imperium" has sold over 520,000 copies to date and this release will be backed by a major marketing spend with guaranteed widespread media coverage.
