About this audiobook
'A gripping history' Mary Beard
'A political thriller, and a human story that astonishes' Hilary Mantel
'Atmospheric and gripping, and [his] scholarship is impeccable' Greg Woolf
Many men killed Julius Caesar. Only one man was determined to kill the killers.
THE LAST ASSASSIN dazzlingly charts an epic turn of history through the eyes of an unheralded man. It is a hunt that an emperor wanted to hide, of torture and terror, politics and poetry, of ideas and their consequences, a gripping story of fear, revenge and survival.
