El último asesino

Many men ended the life of Julius Caesar, but only one would hunt down the murderers. As of the spring of 44 BC. C., the adopted son of Caesar, the future emperor Augustus, would take the terrible revenge of him: he was determined to finish with the murderers of the Ides of March; and not just with Brutus and Cassius, but with each and every one of the nineteen men who had conspired against the dictator. After more than a decade of violent persecution across various continents, the last of the conspirators to die was Cassius of Parma, an almost unknown poet, playwright and sailor who fought on all sides during the civil wars that ravaged the dying Republic. except for the winner. For fourteen years, Caesar's assassins tried to escape the hunters sent by Octavian, but one by one they fell until only Cassius remained standing. His passionate flight, which until now has been no more than a footnote in the annals, becomes in this work a tapestry that portrays the turbulent end of the Roman Republic. The Last Assassin is the epic tale of a hunt that an emperor wanted to hide, a fast-paced story of torture and terror, of politics and poetry. It is, in short, a vivid account of one of the most turbulent periods in the history of Rome in which revenge and the instinct for survival are faced.
