The Road Presents Itself

It's 60 AD in Rome. Deaths have stopped construction of the Empire's most audacious building project yet. Tiberius, "Muscle and Brains" for the financier boss backing the project, travels from Rome to investigate. Reeling from his partner's murder and saddled with a "seer" woman he doesn't trust, Tiberius uncovers layer upon layer of double-dealing and vengeance that shock even his cynical heart . . . one that's been unexpectedly set aflame by a slave woman at the site. In the ringing voice of a 21st century noir detective-profane, direct, compelling-Tiberius's tale of the road rips at full, passionate speed across the centuries, and from cover to cover. The first chapters of the book were Top 30 site-wide vote-getters on fiction-serialization website JukePop.com in summer and fall, 2014.
