About this book
Could the killing of Germanicus Julius Caesarāthe grandson of Mark Antony, adopted son of the emperor Tiberius, father of Caligula, and grandfather of Neroāwhile the Roman Empire was still in its infancy have been the root cause of the empire's collapse more than four centuries later? This brilliant investigation of Germanicus Caesar's death and its aftermath is both a compelling history and first-class murder mystery with a plot twist Agatha Christie would envy.
