FIC HARRIS

Marcus Attilius, serious young engineer for the aqueducts of the Emperor, must determine why the town of Misenum is losing water supply. The story takes place in the last four days prior to the Mt. Vesuvius eruption. The mystery and tension mount with intrigue, murder and deception in this engaging piece of historical fiction. The audio-book is superbly read by British Jim Lee.
