A Mist of Prophecies by Steven Saylor

A Mist of Prophecies by Steven Saylor

In this treacherous environment, a beautiful young seeress- and a confidante of the rich and powerful- is found murdered. Obsessed with her image, Gordianus the Finder starts to investigate the murder of this woman about whom no one seems to know very much at all. As the novel unfolds and Gordianus begins to peel away the veils of secrecy that surround the victim, he finds hidden truths behind her life and death.

- 'Saylor puts such great detail and tumultuous life into his scenes that the sensation of rubbing elbows with the ancients is quite uncanny' - The New York Times - 'Saylor's scholarship is breathtaking and his writing enthralls' - Ruth Rendell, Sunday Times - 'Saylor has acquired the information of a historian but he enjoys the gifts of a born novelist' - The Boston Globe - Saylor goes to considerable trouble to make the atmosphere of the place feel authentic' - Times Literary Supplement

Steven Saylor is the author of eight previous books in the Roma Sub Rosa series, most recently A Mist of Prophecies. He divides his time between Berkeley, California, and Austin, Texas.
