About the Book

Have you ever wanted to know the Latin word for "underwear"? Or have you ever wondered what life was like for a soldier stationed on Hadrian's Wall? Maybe you just want to read a deviously and complicated historical "whodunnit", as Centurion Versillius faces down the Cult of Mithras, his superiors, the civil administration, the townspeople and even his own men in the search for a vicious killer. Travel back to AD 350, to find a Roman Britain which had existed for centuries, but was going through a period of dramatic change. The ties that held the empire together were fraying, as Britannia, the most northerly part of the empire, was finding out. Not altogether the best time to have a particularly nasty murderer stalking the streets of your Romano-British town... SOME COMMENTS MADE BY AMAZON READERS: "5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant idea - A "Morse-like" detective who is a Roman Centurion" Best $1 I have ever spent...William E. Smith, Canada "Great debut novel" This novel had believable characters and excellent period detail throughout. And it kept me guessing " whodunit" right up until the final chapter...Empress Caramel, UK. "Very Good Book" I loved the historical detail and would definitely read another book by this writer...Bigdave, UK. "Authenticity is Credibility" Vivid description, accuracy, and a strong sense of place...Stephen S, USA. "Can't wait for more" Kept me guessing to the end, well written and the period detail was good...Angela L, UK. "It is very clever to write a believable story set in a historical context so I enjoyed the book very much and was dying to discover the murderer." Kendall, USA. "Excellent period detail" I did not guess "who dunnit"...I shall look out for more from this author...Sue, UK. "An entertaining tale" ...and a good murder story. I liked it very much. Andros. UK
About the Author: Hello and thank you to anyone who is reading this. I am proud of being a Mancunian but spent almost 30 years living in London before returning to my native city. I studied History at University College, London and then spent the next 25 years (or so) working in Finance and I.T. My day job is still in Finance, working in Trafford Park for a great company called Platinum Batteries. My other (unpaid) job is at Manchester Cathedral, where I am a qualified guide. I have always loved History and Writing and thanks to KDP two of my novels are now published. There is one more historical murder mystery waiting to go online and several more in the pipeline. Apart from work and writing, I like Rugby Union, Architecture and Cricket. I am a lover of cats and have been "owned" by several delightful felines. MURDER ON HADRIAN'S WALL has sold over 3,700 e-copies worldwide, in just under 6 months and has also had many Kindle "borrows" to its name. My 2nd novel DEATH IN THE AGE OF GOLD was recently published electronically on amazon. I hope to make it available on createspace soon. It has almost reached its double "century" of sales. My thanks and appreciation for your support, especially US and UK readers who liked the book enough to give it four or five star reviews. Should anyone wish to contact me, I can be reached at: ktwc999@gmail.com
