Every book has a mystery – in the first, someone is killing off barmaids in the sixth, a young boy sees a body buried in the interior section of Hadrian’s Wall. His patients are mostly soldiers suffering from accidents or fight-related injuries. His unit is stationed in northern Britain, first in the town of Deva (present-day Chester), then up on the wall that Hadrian is building. He’s a Roman citizen, from southern Gaul, who joined the army to put distance between himself and his family while also trying to earn money to save the family farm.
