Aurelia Case

In classical antiquity, a detective duo must try to track down the lost love of a Roman businessman
Intriguing quest in ancient Sagalassos
Death is imminent, but first the Roman businessman Pontius Marullus wants to deal with an old conscience problem: a quarter of a century ago he impregnated a young woman in Sagalassos.
He sends the detective duo Homeros Grafikos and Maria Corinna out to track down his lost love. Is that a good decision? Aurelia's mysterious beauty makes Grafikos' head spin. Maria Corinna also has a hard time when a handsome herbalist path crosses…
Passion, hatred, betrayal and a cold-blooded murder. Sagalassos is no less than the Great Whore Rome. The city is tottering on its foundations. A ragtag army is advancing under the leadership of a false emperor Nero. Sagalassos is becoming too small to house its hotheads. Where can old secrets hide? Perhaps in Alexandria, in the dangerous papyrus swamps of the Nile Delta?
After The Myrtion Case, The Crispina Case and The Flavia Case, GASTON VAN CAMP leaves ancient Rome behind for a while and chooses the setting of Sagalassos and Alexandria. The Aurelia Case is the fourth episode in this historical thriller series.
