<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 4094155, member: 110350&quot;]I admit I had never heard of Talbot Mundy, but I just read the surprisingly gigantic Wikipedia article about him.&nbsp; He sounds a bit like H.

In 45 BC, Julius Caesar is at the height of his power. Lucius Scaurus, the young, good-looking fiance of a high-society girl is poisoned at the couple&#039;s own pre-wedding banquet. In the trial that follows, Roman society is shocked when the girl&#039;s mother, Helvia, is accused of not only of murder, but of incest. Cicero comes to Helvia&#039;s defence, but the killer&#039;s identity remains a mystery until the final twist - or two.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
