A deadly contagion has sent most of Rome's wealthy citizens fleeing to the country, but for Claudia, the plague is the least of her worries. To pay off her loans, she borrowed 3,000 sesterces from Sabbio Tullus. Borrowed as in broke into his depository to get it, but surely that was no reason to set the authorities on her? To avoid arrest, she seeks refuge in the beautiful lakeside resort of Atlantis, where she meets the charismatic Cal. A little flirting in tranquil surroundings seems an ideal way to pass the time - except, within hours, Cal is dead. And he's not the only one. Suddenly, Atlantis proves ten times more dangerous than the disease-ridden streets Claudia left behind.
