By Alison Morton

"I thoroughly enjoyed this classy thriller" - The Bookseller
Pulled into a nightmare of blackmail, drugs and breakdown, 21st century Roma Novan Carina struggles to defend her family and country against a gifted and vicious enemy.

Carina Mitela is an experienced military intelligence officer and undercover investigator tasked with protecting Roma Nova – the last remnant of the Roman Empire that’s survived into the 21st century. But for once, she may not have the mental and physical strength to defeat this manipulative killer intent on destroying her and her husband's families.

Her career in meltdown, her husband in breakdown and the children under threat of murder; her heart and nerves are at break point. But in the final agonising confrontation with her enemy, Carina has to make the hardest decision of her life…

A thriller with a difference – Roman fiction brought into the 21st century through the lens of alternative history and driven by a female protagonist with heart and courage. If you enjoy a good read with twists, this is for you!
