{"product_id":"9780099406327","title":"Lustrum","description":"\u003cp\u003eRome, 63 BC. In a city on the brink of acquiring a vast empire, seven men are struggling for power. Cicero is consul, Caesar his ruthless young rival, Pompey the republic's greatest general, Crassus its richest man, Cato a political fanatic, Catilina a psychopath, Clodius an ambitious playboy.  The stories of these real historical figures - their alliances and betrayals, their cruelties and seductions, their brilliance and their crimes - are all interleaved to form this epic novel. Its narrator is Tiro, a slave who serves as confidential secretary to the wily, humane, complex Cicero. He knows all his master's secrets - a dangerous position to be in.  From the discovery of a child's mutilated body, through judicial execution and a scandalous trial, to the brutal unleashing of the Roman mob, Lustrum is a study in the timeless enticements and horrors of power.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PENGUIN RANDOM HOUSE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32039706820723,"sku":"9780099406327","price":255.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2291\/7991\/products\/lustrum-robert-harris-15208008319091.jpg?v=1637659982","url":"https:\/\/www.readerswarehouse.shop\/de\/products\/9780099406327","provider":"Readers Warehouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
