A decomposing body is discovered inside goods prepared for auction by Albia's family. With no clear identity or reported disappearance, she must reconstruct the victim's movements from the objects and households connected with the sale.

At the same time, Manlius Faustus is managing a candidate in a civic election and asks Albia to investigate rival families. The unidentified corpse and the campaign converge as private scandal, reputation and political ambition create motives for murder.
