Praise for The Bull Slayer... "Brilliant....An excellent series. And I look forward to more." -Robert Fabbri, author of Vespasian, Tribune of Rome A turbulent frontier province, seething with corruption and hatred of Rome; a barbarian god whose devotees may include a murderer; a clever and unscrupulous faith healer who knows everyone's secrets; a boy who struggles toward manhood: these are the elements in Pliny's latest investigation. Newly appointed governor of Bithynia, Pliny finds a high Roman official murdered miles from the capital. But as Pliny, far from Rome and the Emperor Trajan, pursues one baffling lead after another, he is betrayed where he least expects it: at home.
