**PRE-ORDER A GRIPPA NOW: THE THRILLING NEW NOVEL FROM ROBERT HARRIS, COMING AUGUST 2026**
'A pure thriller . . . wry, clever, thoughtful' OBSERVER
'No one delivers thrilling yet timeless games of power, sex, fame and Rome like Robert Harris' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
Rome, 63 BC. Seven men are struggling for power: Cicero the consul, Caesar his ruthless rival, Pompey the republic's greatest general, Crassus its richest man, Cato a political fanatic, Catilina a psychopath and Clodius an ambitious playboy.
These real historical figures - their alliances and betrayals, their cruelties and seductions - are all interleaved in Lustrum , through its narrator Tiro, a confidential secretary to Cicero. He knows all his master's secrets - a dangerous position to be in.
'Thoroughly engaging . . . The allure of power and the perils that attend it have seldom been so brilliantly anatomised in a thriller' Sunday Times
