Londra, 1936. In una tipica serata di pioggia il famoso psichiatra Anselm Rees viene trovato morto nel suo studio, assassinato. La finestra è sigillata e la porta chiusa dall'interno. Non ci sono indizi né tracce dell'arma del delitto e, stando alle circostanze, è impossibile che l'assassino sia fuggito senza essere visto. Eppure... Per trovare la chiave di volta di quest'indagine a prima vista paradossale, l'ispettore Flint convoca un alleato d'eccezione: Joseph Spector, suo amico ed ex prestigiatore in pensione. Chi meglio di un esperto illusionista può scovare un assassino dileguatosi come per magia?

Author and historian Tom Holland returns to his roots in Roman history and the audience he cultivated with Rubicon—his masterful, witty, brilliantly researched popular history of the fall of the Roman republic—with Dynasty, a luridly fascinating history of the reign of the first five Roman emperors. Dynasty continues Rubicon's story, opening where that book ended: with the murder of Julius Caesar. This is the period of the first and perhaps greatest Roman emperors.
