Last Rites

It is the morning after the nocturnal rite of the good Goddess, an all-female ceremony, and the body of a young woman has been found with her throat cut. Hoping to avoid scandal, Senator Lucius Arruntius calls in Marcus Corvinus to do some discreet sleuthing. Inevitably, to solve the mystery, Marcus must look beyond the obvious and untangle a complex web of treachery and deceit.
