Classical Whodunnits Murder and Mystery from Ancient Greece and Rome
by Mike Ashley
In this new collection twenty-two writers take up their pens to give an enthralling picture of classical crime. Favorite historical detectives Gordianus the Finder, Decius Metellus and Sister Fidelma rub shoulders with eminent temporary sleuths such as Socrates and that honorable man Brutus, whilst other great names - Augustus, Archimedes, and even the spoilt and beautiful goddess of love, Aphrodite herself - also become enmeshed in terrible and ingenious crimes.
