The Grove of the Caesars

Albia supervises work in gardens once associated with Julius Caesar when labourers uncover buried philosophical scrolls. The discovery is overtaken by the disappearance and murder of a woman who had attended a private celebration in the grounds.

Evidence links the death to a pattern of women vanishing from the gardens over many years. Albia must work with an imperial agent and reopen cases neglected by the vigiles while two slaves connected with her own household also remain missing.
