Rubicon

Author Steven Saylor tells the story of Caesar's crossing of the Rubicon and chasing of Pompey out of Italy. 

Naturally, the main part of the story is about Gordianus, also known as "The Finder".  A relative of Pompey's is found murdered in the garden of Gordianus.  Pompey assigns The Finder the task of determining who the murderer is while he retreats to Brundisium.  As surety he takes Gordianus' son-in-law with him.  What follows are the adventures of Gordianus as he searches fir the truth.

A good read for fans of historical fiction of the Roman era.
