Fortune's Fool: A Sixth Case from the Notebooks of Pliny the Younger

On the shores of beautiful Lake Como in Roman Italy, a Greek tragedy has taken place. Twenty years later, a skeleton falls out of a wall in Plinyâ€™s villa, bearing mute witness to family secrets and crimes.

Pliny the Younger is intelligent about everything but women. He agrees to his wifeâ€™s and motherâ€™s wishes to marry off his lover, Aurora, to another slave, but neglects telling her until the wedding! To add to his problems, when building a wing onto his Lake Como villa, workmen discover a skeleton. As is Plinyâ€™s habit, he launches a scientific investigation of the crime, but soon receives anonymous warnings and threats to cease. Then his wife, Livia, is kidnapped!

â€¢ As in the earlier books, a glossary of Roman terms and a list of historic and fictional characters are included
