Case 1: Citizen Exile
Titus Africanus is to be expelled from Rome; his crime: not being a Roman citizen! Surely there has been a mistake? How can a decorated, ex-soldier not be considered a citizen? And then there’s the matter of those corpses in the street… There’s more to this case than meets the eye, Cosmo and Aquila will need to investigate in order to expose the conspiracy before it’s too late.

Case 2: School of Hard Knocks
Timon, a freedman and a schoolteacher, is accused of viciously beating his student, Lucius. The boy’s father, Rufus, wants compensation for his broken son and demands that Timon be sold back into slavery. And how does Julius Caesar, Rome’s most popular politician, fit into this? Cosmo and Aquila must take to the streets of Rome to find out the true story.

Case 3: Death by Dormouse
An old crooked merchant is poisoned at a feast. Which of the guests is guilty? Was it the slaves he mistreated, his business partner whom he cheated or his jealous wife? Cosmo must defend the slave from crucifixion, and in so doing he must put his own career on the line.
