When young aristocratic layabout Marcus Corvinus is approached by the stepdaughter of the exiled and now dead Roman poet Ovid and asked to clear the return of the ashes for burial, he cheerfully agrees; there should, he thinks, be no problem. Only when he makes the application to the imperial authorities it's turned down flat. So what, Corvinus asks himself, did Ovid do that was so bad that they won't even allow his bones back into Italy? The first book in the Marcus Corvinus series.
Titel: Ovid

Sammendrag: Da den unge aristokrat Marcus Corvinus bliver kontaktet af steddatteren til den landsforviste og nu afdøde romerske digter Ovid, virker opgaven enkel: at få tilladelse til at bringe digterens aske tilbage til Italien. Men myndighederne afviser ansøgningen uden forklaring. Corvinus begynder derfor at undersøge, hvad Ovid gjorde, som stadig gør ham uønsket selv efter sin død. Efterforskningen fører ham ind i en verden af politiske intriger, mord og hemmeligheder i det antikke Rom.
