Publisher's Summary:

The year is 548, and Empress Theodora is dead of disease. Such is the belief of everyone in Constantinople, capital of the Roman Empire - everyone except Emperor Justinian, who orders John, his Lord Chamberlain, to find her murderer or suffer the consequences.

There is no sign of foul play, but many of the aristocrats at the imperial court had good reason to want Theodora dead. Suspects include General Artabanes, forced to occupy a house with an unloved wife, and Justinians cousin Germanus, who has seen his career blocked. Also suspect are Antonina and her husband, General Belisarius, enraged by Theodoras attempt to marry their daughter to her grandson by compelling the young couple to live together. Could the exiled and much hated former tax collector John the Cappadocian have played a role? Might Gaius, palace physician, have tampered with Theodoras medication? Pope Vigilius, who was detained in the capital due to a religious controversy, is not above suspicion. Even friends of John the Lord Chamberlain are acting strangely, including Anatolius the lawyer and Felix, captain of the palace guards.

As if it isnt difficult enough to seek a murderer who seems to be a figment of the emperors grief-deranged imagination, John must also grapple with domestic upheavals. His daughter, living on an estate outside of the city, is about to give birth, and his aging servant, Peter, is dying. Will John be able to serve justice, his loved ones, and the emperor?

Arthur Vance walks into P.I. Joe Scintilla's office and tells him an incredible story: his wife, Katharine, had commited suicide a year and a half before, and yet he is convinced that she is now passing under the name of Elena Cavalieri, having just been married to another man. Is Vance merely distraught over his wife's death, or is he correct in believing that "The Removal Company" - a shadowy organization that appears to help those who wish to slough off the burden of existence, and which assisted Katharine in her self-destruction-is something much more sinister than it appears? Thus begins a fast-paced investigation by Scintilla and Vance, as they shuttle back and forth from New York to Los Angeles, and even as far as Italy, to find out what they can about the mysterious Dr. Sanderson, the director of The Removal Company. It requires all of Scintilla's brain power, legwork, and guts to hunt down his prey.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 8 votes

Publisher's Summary:

The summer of 1919 is now over, and on the high prairie, a small army of men, women, and machines moves across the land, harvesting the wheat. Custom threshers, steam engineers, bindle stiffs, cooks, camp followers, and hobos join the tide. Prosperous farmers proudly proclaim Rain follows the plow, meaning that the bounty of the land will never be exhausted. Wheat is king as people gleefully embrace the gospels of bounty and progress.

But with the wheat comes a serial killer who calls himself the Windmill Man and who believes he has a holy calling to water the newly plucked earth with blood. For him, the mobile harvest provides a target-rich environment, an endless supply of ready victims. He has been killing for years now and intends to kill for many more. Who could stop him? Nobody even knows he exists.

A young man named Charlie Krueger also follows the harvest. Jilted by his childhood sweetheart and estranged from his drunkard father, Charlie hopes to find a new life as a steam engineer. But in a newly harvested field in the nearly black Dakota night, he has come upon a strange man digging a grave. And in that moment, Charlie becomes the only person who has seen the face of a killer, the only person who can stop him - if he lives long enough. The sheriff is after Charlie for murdering the Windmill Mans latest victim, and the Windmill man has learned his name and has begun to track Charlie.

Richard A. Thompson is a former civil engineer and construction manager who traded his hard hat for a laptop and now writes full time.

Critic Reviews:

"[S]ucceeds both as social history and blood-soaked suspense with a dollop of romance." (Booklist)
