Terra Incognita - Ruth Downie - Bog

Wind-swept North Britannia, where the natives are in the mood for killing...
Gaius Petreius Ruso, medicus to the Twentieth Legion, has been posted to the hostile north - and thrown into a no-win situation. Thessalus, the current doctor at the Fort of Coria, has confessed to a grisly murder and his Prefect demands that Ruso take charge of the patients and convince Thessalus to retract his confession. But, it seems a reputation for solving tricky murders down south isn't always helpful.
Unfortunately, the corpse is offering up few answers other than to suggest that the natives might be more murderous than restless. If Ruso is to identify the killer, he'll need all his wits about him to keep Romans, natives and slave girls from each other's throats.
The second novel in the bestselling Gaius Petreius Ruso series. Formerly published as Ruso and the Demented Doctor.
