Inspector Abberline and the Gods of Rome

Inspector Abberline is on the trail of ancient treasure…and a murderer! In 408 AD, the Visigoths tore Italy apart and besieged Rome. Knowing the barbarians will ransack his once mighty city, the emperor orders his bodyguard to remove seven golden statues from the temple and take them to a place of safety. Within a few short years the Roman Empire will cease to exist while the location of the statues, known as the Gods of Rome, will be lost to time. Spool forward to the nineteenth century, A.D. 1890, and Inspector Abberline is investigating the death of Sir Alfred Denby. Initially Denby’s death is thought to be an accident but then it turns out to be murder. Abberline realizes the Denby family is in danger and races off to save the life of Professor William Denby, a pioneer in balloon aviation. The famous detective soon finds himself entangled in the world of international theft, an enduring vendetta, and the mystery of the seven golden statues. The Gods of Rome are prized by kings, fought over by men who do evil…and curse the lives of whomsoever touches them.
