Synopsis

Albintimilium, a Roman city in Cisalpine Gaul, in the year 264 AD. 


The lifeless body of a prostitute is found tied to a pole on the beach. The milites immediately sense they are dealing with a ruthless killer. The murders have just begun. 


Milites Marco Decimo Apronio is young, determined, and more intelligent than the older colleagues he works with in the local Urbaniciani barracks. He is called upon to solve the case; his colleagues need a young and brilliant mind that has already helped them in the past solve difficult cases. However, this time, the mystery seems impossible even for Apronio: no one has ever seen anything like it before. With the support of the Pretorians, the manhunt begins. 


Marco Decimo, shaken by a dark past and failed relationships, must confront his own anxieties as the search for the murderer plunges him into the darkest corners of consciousness. He delves into the mind of the killer, trying to understand the twisted actions, but discovers evil and hopes not to get entangled in it as everything seems to collapse around him. 


With the discovery of more murdered women, a race against time begins. The only solution is to uncover the murderer before he kills again.

    A friendly poker game leads Henry Swann out to Hollywood where he tries to find the man, Rusty Jacobs, responsible for embezzling $1,000,000 from his client, and then bring back the dough. Swann finds Jacobs, but the mercurial wannabe film producer is involved in a "surefire" movie project aimed at the growing Christian market. And the money? Well, it seems to have vanished into thin air. 
     
     
     
    At the same time, thanks to his irrepressible partner, Goldblatt, Swann finds himself knee-deep in the New York City art world, as he tries to get justice for another client who's possibly been defrauded on the purchase of a valuable painting that may or may not be a fake. 
     
     
     
    As if this isn't enough to keep him busy, in the midst of these two troubling cases, Swann finds that the teenage son whom he hasn't seen in a dozen years has run away from his grandparent's Minnesota home and, chasing after a girl, has possibly become involved with a cult. And so, a guilt-ridden Swann has to take time out from his paying cases to find his son.

    The Minerva Club might look like any other London gentlemen’s club but behind its respectable and discreet façade, some of the most ambitious schemes for heists, money-making and evasion of the law are being worked out. It’s an exclusive club for criminals. Entry qualification: members must have served a prison sentence of two years minimum. Though the club’s criminal ventures don’t always go as planned… 
     
    From trying to break into an old prison cell and stealing a stash of jewels hidden during a previous incarceration, love getting in the way during a hideout from the police, a cleverly planned break-in being interrupted by an unexpected guest, to figuring out where to steal a last-minute wedding cake – the club’s amiable criminals somehow always achieve their goal in the most surprising ways. 
     
    This collection of five short stories follows the Minerva Club’s (mis)adventures and evokes the very best of humorous classic crime fiction.
