FROM THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING AUTHOR

'Confirms Harris's undisputed place as our leading master of both the historical and contemporary thriller' - Daily Mail

'Climactic in every sense . . . I could not put it down' - Guardian

There was a time when Cicero held Caesar's life in the palm of his hand. But now Caesar is the dominant figure and Cicero's life is in ruins. Cicero's comeback requires wit, skill, and courage. For a brief and glorious period, the legendary orator is once more the supreme senator in Rome. However, politics is never static, and no statesman, however cunning, can safeguard against the ambition and corruption of others.

'The finest fictional treatment of Ancient Rome in the English language' - The Scotsman

There are currently two different covers and possibly a mix of stock until December 2022. They will be assigned at random.
