The Lock - first US edition
by Benita Kane Jaro
Built around the letters and speeches of Cicero, many of which appear in the
novel in new and lively translations by the author, The Lock is historically
accurate and carefully researched. It may be read independently as a single
novel, or as the second volume of the trilogy The Key, The Lock, and The Door in
the Wall. It features maps of Rome and the Empire, specially drawn for the
novel, and includes a reader-friendly list of Principal Characters and a
Chronology of Events in the novel. No other novel so deeply examines Cicero and
his times.
Book is a quality paperback edition, octavo 6" x 9"; never issued as a hard
cover.
