Vox Populi: An Agent Strabo Mystery Novella

By Alex A. Zudor

Book Overview

Ancient times, modern problems

Politics, jealousy, murder: you name it, the Romans had it
Enters our hero, an irreverent investigator with a major character flaw-decency.

"Vox Populi" is a tongue-in-cheek historical mystery that allows a glimpse into the political life of a provincial metropolis at the height of the Roman Empire. Perfect for Lindsey Davis, David Wishart, and Steven Saylor fans.

It's election time in the ancient Roman metropolis of Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa. However, the whole electoral process risks getting out of hand when Cominius Pontius Poplicola, the popular candidate for one of the chief executive positions, dies under suspicious circumstances.

Was his death an accident, or was he murdered for championing the citizenry's cause against the Emperor's interests?

Join Lucius Lucretius Strabo, a former legionary and war veteran, on his quest to solve the mystery and prevent yet another Empire-wide civil war.
