About this listen

In 49 BC, in the city of Massilia (modern-day Marseille), on the coast of southern Gaul, Gordianus the Finder's beloved son Meto has disappeared - branded as a traitor to Caesar and apparently dead. Consumed with grief, Gordianus arrives in the city amid a raging civil war, hoping to discover what happened to his son. But when he witnesses a young woman fall from a precipice called Sacrifice Rock, he becomes entangled in discovering the truth: did she fall or was she pushed? And could she be connected to his missing son? Drawn into the city's treacherous depths, where nothing and no one are what they seem, Gordianus must summon all of his skills to discover his son's fate - and to safeguard his own life.

Steven Saylor delivers another excellent episode in the adventures of his distinguished hero, Gordianus the Finder.

My favorite in the series so far

Very well written, with strong characterization. The ending is very surprising, with implications for the series going forward.

Another great mystery set against the back drop of Ancient Rome

Once again our hero Gordianus finds himself immersed in an tricky mystery while caught up in historical events of Ancient Rome. This time we are outside, and inside, the gates of Massilia (modern day Marseille) during its siege by the armies of Julius Caesar. The native Greeks have sided with Pompey in the Roman civil wars just before the fall of the Republic. And our hero must solve a mystery amongst the ruling families while also seeking out news of his lost son. I love the story telling of Steven Saylor and how he weaves historical events into his narrative. The characters are always real and believable. And the backstory and setting transports you. This is another in a great series that will please mystery lovers and history buffs alike. And will spur you to read on to find out how our hero will survive amongst the turmoil.
