All Roads Lead to Murder - first US edition
by Albert A. Bell, Jr.
In April of AD 83 a caravan of travelers stop at an inn for the night. The
next morning one of them is dead, butchered in horrific fashion. No Roman
magistrates are on the scene, so Pliny the Younger takes charge until the
provincial governor can be summoned. Pliny surprises his friend, Cornelius
Tacitus, by suggesting that the cause of death might by something other than the
obvious knife wounds . . .

all chapter pages, by William Martin Johnson, from the first edition of Ben-Hur.
