Synopsis
Blood Vengeance recounts Insubrecus’ first year in charge of the Vigiles, the watchmen who serve as the city police force and fire brigade. In the cold darkness of an early spring night, someone dumps the body of a retired Roman centurion in the town forum, right at the feet of the Augustus’ newly installed statue. Whether an act of political violence by the disgruntled Gallic population of the town or a warning to Insubrecus himself, who protects a secret so deadly it threatens him, his family, and his closest friends, Insubrecus must uncover the murderer and ensure his silence.

“Thraex!” Rufia spits. “That cunnus out of Rome …”
“You know about Thraex,” I say.
“It’s my job to know who’s on my turf,” Rufia almost shouts. “But no one attacks me! No one does this to me in my own place. I’ll have that bastard’s verpa sliced up into a stew and served to him!”
I wonder for a heartbeat if Rufia’s talking figuratively about making a stew out of Thraex’ “snake.” Then, Macro Iunior slips his hand under his mother’s arm and whispers something in her ear. I see Rufia’s eyes turn toward her son. She listens, nods, takes a deep breath, and becomes silent.
