I enjoyed the novel but not as much as others of this author's works - The Key and Betray the Night or Harris's Cicero trilogy. Milo was an exile Caelius a hunted man, he himself had been caught, bound, muzzled, forced to dance to someone else's tune. There was nothing that would save the city now.The lock - was broken the wall had failed to hold. For many years he tries to fend off the end of the Republic. The novel carries us through his career from his first case, exile and return, and finally, unsuccessful defense of Milo. He makes his mark in Rome and wins fame as a successful lawyer, defending the underdog. Novel about Cicero and other famous names through the waning of the Roman Republic. 3.5 rounded to 4, mainly because of style. ![]()
