About “Rubicon”

Caesar and his troops have crossed the Rubicon and are marching on Rome. Pompey, his rival, is preparing to flee south with the Senate and his loyal troops, leaving the city in chaos. In the midst of the turmoil, Pompey's cousin and protege, Numerius, is found murdered in the garden of Gordianus the Finder. Pompey demands that Gordianus investigate the murder and find the killer, taking his son-in-law hostage to force him into cooperation. With one son serving under Caesar and his son-in-law held by Pompey, Gordianus must uncover the secrets of the dead man to protect his family from the escalating conflict that will reshape Rome.
