Rome under Tiberius. A series of killings exposes the damage left by war in men who have returned to civilian life without escaping its memories. Cicurinus is driven by trauma and obsession, while Carbo’s own drinking and gambling leave him vulnerable when suspicion begins to turn towards him.

Carbo must investigate the murders while confronting parallels between the killer’s wounds and his own. The novel places a serial-crime plot within the crowded districts patrolled by the vigiles, showing how military violence, poverty and personal reputation shape justice in the imperial capital.
