Ruso travels north with the Twentieth Legion to Coria, where the local doctor has confessed to murder but appears incapable of explaining what happened. Tilla’s connections to the region draw the couple into hostility between soldiers, civilians and British communities living beyond the more settled parts of the province.
The investigation unfolds before the construction of Hadrian’s Wall, when Rome’s northern frontier remained unstable and personal loyalties could be interpreted as rebellion. The novel was originally published in the United Kingdom as Ruso and the Demented Doctor.
