He is Agricola{u2019}s doctor and friend. And Agricola is the governor of Britannia. On a frozen December afternoon, he learns the governor is in trouble. The Emperor Domitian has sent a spy to Britannia -- a spy carrying papers demanding Agricola{u2019}s resignation. It doesn{u2019}t make Arcturus any warmer to know that the spy, Vibius Maecenas, is betrothed to the woman who brings him the story. The woman -- Gwyna -- is as unforgettable as her information. When Arcturus sends his freedman Bilicho to follow her, he finds himself, hours later, in an underground temple, staring at a shapeless hulk on top of the altar. It{u2019}s the trussed body of Maecenas, with a gaping hole in place of a throat. If Arcturus doesn{u2019}t find out who murdered him and why, Domitian might think the governor is responsible. The dead Maecenas will ignite a civil war, one hot enough to thaw the ice in frozen Britannia.\"--Publisher." . . . . . . . "Nox dormienda : (a long night for sleeping)" . . .
