Newly married, Ruso and Tilla return to Britain expecting to establish a home. Ruso instead accepts a temporary commission to find Julius Asper, a missing tax collector from Verulamium, and discovers that public money has vanished with him.
As the search becomes a murder inquiry, forged documents, buried wealth and the unresolved legacy of Boudica’s revolt expose divisions beneath the town’s claims of loyalty to Rome. The novel was originally published in the United Kingdom as Ruso and the River of Darkness.
