{"product_id":"conspirata-robert-harris-9780743266116","title":"Conspirata: A Novel of Ancient Rome","description":"Conspirata is \"a portrait of ancient politics as a blood sport,\" raves The New York Times. As he did with Imperium, Robert Harris again turns Roman history into a gripping thriller as Cicero faces a new power struggle in a world filled with treachery, violence, and vengeance.On the eve of Cicero's inauguration as consul of Rome, a grisly discovery sends fear rippling through a city already racked by unrest. A young slave boy has been felled by a hammer, his throat slit and his organs removed, apparently as a human sacrifice. For Cicero, the ill omens of this hideous murder only increase his dangerous situation: elected leader by the people but despised by the heads of the two rival political camps. Caught in a shell game that leaves him forever putting out fires only to have them ignite elsewhere, Cicero plays for the future of the republic...and his life. There is a plot to assassinate him, abetted by a rising young star of the Roman senate named Gaius Julius Caesar--and it will take all the embattled consul's wit, strength, and force of will to stop the plot and keep Rome from becoming a dictatorship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Harris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0743266110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780743266116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gallery Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.30w x 1.20d","brand":"Robert Harris","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049745903871,"sku":"9780743266116","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_73f3f7e9-b440-4d7c-b012-303272da8fcb.jpg?v=1685003222","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/conspirata-robert-harris-9780743266116","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
