Catilina's Riddle: A novel of Ancient Rome. Saylor, Steven:

Tadelloses Exemplar / impeccable copy. - Gordianus the Finder, disillusioned by the corruption and intrigue of Rome, has retired with his family to his farm in the Etruscan countryside. But his would-be country idyll is disrupted by the machinations and murderous plots of two politicians: Roman consul Cicero and populist senator Catilina, Ciceros political rival and a candidate to replace him as consul. Claiming that Catilina plans an uprising if he loses the election, Cicero asks Gordianus to keep a watchful eye on the radical. Although he distrusts both men and wants nothing to do with their rivalry, a headless corpse that ominously appears on his farm proves to Gordianus that he can no longer sit on the sidelines.
