The setting is Smyrna, in the first century. This is the setting where a horrible murder has occurred. Meanwhile, Luke, Tacitus, and Pliny the Younger are busy on their way to Rome, traveling all the way there in a caravan.

When they find a murder and there are not immediately any Roman magistrates on hand, the three suddenly become the investigators. The only trouble is that there are too many suspects around that could have done it. Everyone seems suspect, from the gamblers to the Christians and the priestesses.

The truth is that anyone could have committed the act. So what is it when it comes to this murder mystery and how will the three of them solve it? And what does the slave of one of the victims have to do with it all? You’re going to have to read this debut novel in the Pliny series by Albert Bell to find out!

The Blood of Caesar is the second novel and the sequel to the first of the Pliny the Younger series by acclaimed author Albert A. Bell Jr.

When the reader last left Pliny the Younger, he was with his friend and Tacitus. They were solving a murder mystery, and when that was done, they hoped that it would be the end of it. However, now it seems that they may have accidentally found their way to another murder mystery.

The two quickly find that this mystery may be even more complex than the last one. The death occurred at the palace of the emperor Domitian when a worker is found deceased in the archives. The emperor decides that Pliny will be assigned to this case. Why is this man so concerned with the death when he has the rule of Rome to consider?

In any case, Pliny is charged with finding references to an heir of Caesar located in Nero’s mother’s book of memoirs. The emperor thinks that the copy that he has may even be incomplete and is suspicious of many others, including an old friend’s niece. Even Tacitus’s father in law may end up being a victim of his paranoia.

Can slaves from Pliny’s household have anything to do with Augustus’s legacy? When it comes to answers, the two may have more cut out for them than they realize. Their search to find answers might just lead them to the underworld to find the golden house of Nero to find the answers that they are looking for.

Will the answers that they have found help to save Rome or result in its downfall? Find out by picking up a copy of the book The Blood of Caesar, the second in the Pliny series by Albert A. Bell Jr. to find out!
