" 'How wonderful to have a scholar write about ancient Rome; how comforting to feel instant confidence in the historical accuracy of the novel' The Sunday Times 'Saylor's gifts include authentic historical and topographical backgrounds and... sombre themes set off the brilliant scenery and clever plotting.'

Reseña del editor:
Nine new tales of mystery, murder and intrigue take Gordianus
the Finder, detective of Ancient Rome, from the seamy streets
of Rome and elegant villas on the Bay of Naples, to a Sicilian
graveyard and a deadly secret and a bloody battlefield in Spain.
Whether working against the spectacular backdrop of a chariot
race, or settling a domestic dispute with his beautiful Egyptian
concubine, Bethesda, Gordianus is always on the case. Nothing
fazes him even the impossible problem posed in the title story
by a beautiful Nubian actress: how can she have seen her
beloved gladiator brother alive in the marketplace, when she
had earlier witnessed his gruesome death in the arena? A
gladiator dies only once! But nothing is impossible in this
entertaining new collection of short stories in the acclaimed
Roma sub Rosa series.

Descripción Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Fresh from his duel of wits with Cleopatra in The Judgement cf Caesar, Gordianus the Finder, detective of ancient Rome, returns in this new collection of short stories. Nine tales of mystery, murder and intrigue take Gordianus from the seamy streets of Rome to elegant villas on the Bay of Naples, and from a Sicilian graveyard with a deadly secret to a bloody battlefield in Spain. Whether against the spectacular backdrop of a chariot race, or settling a domestic dispute with his beautiful Egyptian concubine Bethesda, Gordianus is always on the case. As in Sayior's previous collection, The House of the Vestals, all the stories in A Gladiator Dies Only Once take place early in Gordianus's career. Often at his side, rapidly growing up, is the mute boy Eco, his adopted son. Frequently conferring with Gordianus is his good-hearted patrician friend, Lucius Claudius Cicero, the great lion of the Roman law courts, makes several appearances. Sertorius, the rebel general who set up a rival Roman state in Spain, casts a shadow across the book from beginning to end, and makes a haunting appearance in the story "The White Fawn." In the title story, a beautiful Nubian actress begs to Gordianus to solve an impossible problem: how can she have just seen her beloved brother in the marketplace, when she previously saw him die a gruesome death as a gladiator? The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Nº de ref. del artículo: GOR001400462
