The spirit of adventure callls Marcus Didius Falco on a new spying mission for the Emperor Vespasian to the untamed East.

With the Chief Spy Anacrites paying his fare, Falco knows anything can go wrong.
A dangerous brush with the Brother, the sinister ruler of Nabataean Petra, sends Falco and his girlfriend Helena on a fast camel-ride to Syria. They join a travelling theatre group, which keeps losing members in non-accidental drownings.
