Marcus Salvius Magnus, leader of the Southern Quirinal Crossroads
Brotherhood, has long dominated his part of Rome's criminal underworld.
From rival gangs and unpaid debts to rigged chariot races and blood
feuds--if you have a problem, Magnus is the man to solve it. He'll do
everything in his power to preserve his grip on the less-traveled back
alleys of Rome, and of course, make a profit. But while Magnus inhabits
the underbelly of the city, his patron, Gaius Vespasius Pollo, moves in
a different circle. As a senator, he needs men like Magnus to do his
dirty work as he maneuvers his way deeper into the imperial court. In
these thrilling tales from the Vespasian series, spanning from the rule
of Tiberius through the bloody savagery of Caligula to the coming of
Nero, Robert Fabbri exposes a world of violence, mayhem and murder that
echos down the ages.
