A Step Too Far (Paperback)

Suggested by actual events this historical crime novel presents Roman Britain in a new and exciting light. Taking place in the 140s A.D (Roman years 892-897) it features the problems and dangers encountered by senior investigator Albinus Felix in a land of 105 towns and a population of 2.5 million, often with governor Lollius Urbicus away in the north which had never been pacified as had the south east. A new wall beyond Hadrian's was demanded by the emperor, causing more problems than it solved by taking troops from the midlands and south. The governor, admiral and many other characters actually lived at this time.
