El derecho de los lobos / The Right of Wolves

Stefano De Bellis,Edgardo Fiorillo

Un gran thriller en la antigua Roma con Ciceron, el ex centurion Tito y Sila como protagonistas.

Impresionante como un noir de Ellroy, gore como una pelicula de Tarantino y afilado como un thriller de Turow.
Corriere della Sera

Un thriller sorprendente que recuerda a El nombre de la rosa.
Annachiara Sacchi, La Lettura

En el ano 80 a. C. Roma es una metropolis violenta en la que se entrelazan el dinero, el vicio y la politica. En la oscuridad de los bajos fondos, cuatro asesinos liderados por un coloso con horribles cicatrices irrumpen en el nuevo burdel de lujo La Vaina del Gladio y provocan una masacre; entre los muertos, el rico comerciante de telas Marco Vilio Cincio, aspirante a senador. El dueno del lugar, unico superviviente de la carniceria y principal sospechoso, ha desaparecido, y son muchos los que lo buscan, como el veterano centurion Tito Anio.

En otro rincon de la ciudad, la vestal Cecilia Metela acude al joven Ciceron para que defienda a su protegido, Sexto Roscio, de la acusacion de parricidio: una causa delicada que oculta intereses perversos. La sombra de Sila, cuyos enemigos estan cada vez mas inquietos, se cierne sobre ambos casos. Mientras que, para llegar a la verdad, Tito debera enfrentarse a peleas, emboscadas y complicaciones sentimentales, Ciceron descubrira que en el foro esta en juego no solo el destino de Sexto, sino el suyo propio, e incluso la supervivencia de la Republica.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A great thriller in ancient Rome with Cicero, the ex-centurion Titus and Sulla as the protagonists.

Awesome like an Ellroy noir, gore like a Tarantino movie, and edgy like a Turow thriller. -Corriere della Sera

A surprising thriller reminiscent of The Name of the Rose. -Annachiara Sacchi, La Lettura

In the year 80 a.C. Rome is a violent metropolis in which money, vice, and politics intertwine. In the darkness of the underworld, four assassins led by a colossus with horrible scars break into the new luxury brothel La Vaina del Gladio and cause a massacre: among the dead, the wealthy cloth merchant Marco Vilio Cincio, an aspiring senator. The owner of the place, the sole survivor of the carnage and the main suspect, has disappeared, and there are many who are looking for him, such as the veteran centurion Tito Anio.

In another corner of the city, the Vestal Cecilia Metela goes to the young Cicero to defend her protege, Sexto Roscio, from the accusation of parricide: a delicate cause that hides perverse interests. The shadow of Sulla, whose enemies are increasingly restless, looms over both cases. While, to get to the truth, Titus will have to face fights, ambushes and sentimental complications, Cicero will discover that in the forum is at stake not only the fate of Sexto, but his own, and even the survival of the Republic.
