Description
FROM THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING AUTHOR
A pure thriller . . . wry, clever, thoughtful, with a terrific sense of timing and eye for character - Observer
No one delivers thrilling yet timeless games of power, sex, fame and Rome like Robert Harris - Sunday Telegraph
Rome, 63 BC. Seven men are struggling for power: Cicero the consul, Caesar his ruthless rival, Pompey the republic's greatest general, Crassus its richest man, Cato a political fanatic, Catilina a psychopath, and Clodius an ambitious playboy.
These real historical figures - their alliances and betrayals, their cruelties and seductions - are all interleaved in Lustrum, through its narrator Tiro, a confidential secretary to Cicero. He knows all his master's secrets - a dangerous position to be in.
Thoroughly engaging . . . The allure of power and the perils that attend it have seldom been so brilliantly anatomised in a thriller - Sunday Times
There are currently two different covers and possibly a mix of stock until December 2022. They will be assigned at random.
