A Prisoner of Privilege by Rosemary Rowe
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

194 AD and Libertus is summoned by his patron, Marous Aurelius Setimus, to a meeting in the public baths. He informs Libertus that a distant cousin, ex-Praetoriar, and presumed spy will soon be arriving in Glevum to investigate reports of treason. While at the baths, the money changer, Josephus Loftus wished to speak to Libertus. But before they can arrange a meeting Josephus is found dead. Libertus decides to investigate but it would seem that the guilty party is more intelligent that he thought, and Libertus makes a serious mistake.
An engaging well-written story, which although the 18th in the series I found it easy enough to read as a standalone story. It was quite a slow paced novel, and so it took awhile before I became involved in the story.
