PERFIDITAS: A Carina Mitela Roma Nova thriller

by Alison Morton

Overview

"One minute we're colleagues – the next, she's splitting me open with a knife."

Carina Mitela of the 21st century Praetorian Guard is in trouble. Falsely incriminated in a conspiracy, she must choose between being a great criminal or a great counterspy, and between two men. And can she save her beloved Roma Nova and her own life at the same time?

Proscribed and operating illegally, separated from her family and children, Carina risks being terminated by both security services and conspirators. Seeking help from a friend immersed in the world of crime could wreck her marriage to the enigmatic Conrad. As an intelligence agent, she's no mean detective, but betrayal mounts on betrayal.

Set in Roma Nova, the last Roman outpost in 21st century Europe, this part conspiracy thriller, part military fiction, part a story of love and personal betrayal is Roman fiction brought up to the 21st century. And a strong female protagonist with heart and courage leads the action.

Editorial Reviews

"Alison Morton has built a fascinating, exotic world! Carina's a bright, sassy detective with a winning dry sense of humour. I warmed to her quickly and wanted to find out how she dealt with the problems thrown in her path. The plot is pretty snappy too and gets off to a quick start which made it easy to keep turning the pages. There are a fair number of alternative historical fictions where Rome never disappeared, but for my money this is one of the better ones."

"Pure enjoyment! A clever, complex plot set in the beguilingly convincing fictional country of Roma Nova. Scenes and characters are sometimes so vividly described that I felt I was watching a movie. This compelling tale rendered me inseparable from my copy right up to the last turn of the page."
