**The third novel in the acclaimed Gaius Petreius Ruso series by the *New York Times *bestselling Ruth Downie—this time set in ancient Gaul. **
Ruth Downie is published as R.S. Downie in the UK, and this book is available there under the title *Ruso and the Root of All Evils*.

But the reception there is not what Ruso has hoped for: no one will admit to sending for him, and his brother Lucius is hoping he'll leave.

That is, until Severus, the family's chief creditor, winds up dead, and the real trouble begins…
