Sejanus af David Wishart (Bog)

'We talked a little about Aelius Sejanus the last time we met. The fact that you are reading this shows that the time for talk is past. The man is a malignant growth, a danger to Rome, and he must be removed. No; I dislike euphemisms. Sejanus must be killed.' Back home temporarily for his father's funeral, Corvinus finds that he has been left a commission by the dead Empress Livia. The only drawback is that Sejanus is the Emperor Tiberius's trusted deputy, and the most powerful man in Rome.... The third book in the Marcus Corvinus series.

Marcus Corvinus vender midlertidigt hjem i forbindelse med sin fars begravelse og opdager, at den afdøde kejserinde Livia har efterladt ham en mission. Problemet er, at målet er Sejanus – kejser Tiberius’ nærmeste mand og den mest magtfulde person i Rom efter kejseren selv. Corvinus trækkes ind i et net af politiske intriger, magtkampe og livsfarlige alliancer i det antikke Rom.
