Death at Philippi by Peter Tonkin

11 March 2020 By Editor

Mark Antony’s most dangerous and dedicated agent, Iacomus Artemidorus, is swept overboard from Cleopatra’s flagship during a terrible storm.

Buy Death at Philippi by Peter Tonkin

But the near end to the Roman spy is just the beginning.

Artemidorus must find a way to travel through enemy-held Thrace and Macedonia until he reaches Antony’s beleaguered generals Saxa and Norbanus in the besieged city of Amphipolis.

The agent must then proceed to Philippi, carrying valuable intelligence which could change the fate of Rome and history.

Standing alongside Mark Antony once more, Artemidorus must hunt down Cassius and Brutus – and exact revenge on those involved in Caesar’s assassination on the Ides of March.

The battle – and war – must be won.

Death at Philippi by Peter Tonkin, a Caesar’s Spies thriller, is published as an ebook on 10 March, 2020.
