A newlywed couple have been strangled and precious silver stolen. The vigiles claim the murder is the work of the household slaves. Flavia Alba is reluctant to investigate but the case offers her the chance to work with Manlius Faustus again... which she'd very much like to do. As Albia doggedly unpicks the mystery she is forced to view the sordid truths of Roman domestic slavery. Did the Aviola slaves murder their master and mistress in cold blood or was the killing a burglary gone wrong? Are the slaves simply the innocent victims of a cruel system? Albia can handle many risks but this case has a hidden danger that threatens her own life.
