Plinius Secundus Medieval murder mystery series by author "Bruce MacBain" Formats: AZW3, EPUB, MOBI Goodreads ID: John Shakespeare series Recounting of the gruesome murders investigated by Pliny, a very respectable young senator and lawyer under the regime of Roman emperor Domitian, in the 1st century A.D. Titles in this Series 1. Roman Games (2010) 2. The Bull Slayer (2013)    Meet the Authors Bruce MacBain Bruce Macbain was born long ago in Chicago, Illinois, the only child of a chorus girl and a public relations man—a fact which had surprisingly little effect on his future calling. As a child, he squandered whole days (when other boys were at the playground working on their jump shot) in reading science fiction and history. Greek and Roman history held a special fascination for him and this led eventually to acquiring a masters degree in Classical Studies and a doctorate in Ancient History. As an assistant professor of Classics, he taught courses in Late Antiquity and Roman religion—which is a particular interest of his—and published a few impenetrable scholarly monographs, which almost no one read. He eventually left academe and turned to teaching English as a second language, a field he was trained in while serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Borneo in the 60s. Macbain has lately turned to writing historical mysteries set in ancient Rome, featuring the senatorial letter-writer Pliny the Younger as his protagonist, assisted by other literary figures such as the poet Martial and the biographer Suetonius. Roman Games (Poisoned Pen Press, 2010) was his first published novel, and is now followed by the sequel, The Bull Slayer (2013).  Sharing Widget |
