Decius Caecilius Metellus is moving up in the world. He's won some money and glory struggling pirates in the Mediterranean and expects a quick election to the office of praetor. That changes whenever a man he's never seen before publicly accuses him of problem. Decius and his powerful family of Rome's leading politicians scramble to prepare a defense. However, the day of the trial these are greeted with a unusual delight on the steps of the courthouse: the corpse of the person who made the accusation. Now Decius is against a much more serious charge of murder. It could cost him his chance to perform for office, however, not if he is able to help it. Roberts once more masterfully places Decius and his activities against the background of this famed and crumbling Republic, enriching his history with historical details and the immortal personalities of the day.
