SPQR I - The King's Gambit - later trade paper edition

by John Maddox Roberts

The first book in the SPQR series, the King's Gambit introduces us to a sleuth unraveling a rather complex series of murders and mishaps. Naturally the corrupt and very wealthy politicians of the day are behind all this. This is a 1st printing of the reprint edition in 5 1/4 x 8 1/8 quality paperback format with art work true to the style of the more recently-published hard bound volumes by Minotaur. The story is the first in a series set in ancient Rome.

Book has been custom-rebound into hardback, with dust wrapper created from paperback cover art.

Would be fine except for having been read carefully once or twice, so near fine.
