Résumé
Back at his post as a doctor in the twentieth legion in Roman-occupied Britain, Ruso uncovers a new danger even closer to home than the neighbouring barbarians. As mysterious injuries, and even deaths, begin to appear in the medical ledgers,… it's clear that all is not well amongst the native recruits to Britannia's imperial army. Is the much-decorated centurion Geminus preying on his weaker soldiers? And could this be related to the appearance of Emperor Hadrian? Ruso begins to ask questions nobody wants to hear, while his barbarian wife Tilla is finding out some of the answers - and marked as a security risk by the very officers Ruso is interrogating. With Hadrian's visit looming large, the fates of the legion, Tilla, and Ruso himself hang in the balance. Sequel to "Caveat emptor", followed by "Tabula rasa". 2015.
