The title means "a long night for sleeping," and the book creates a new subgenre: the Roman noir. In first-century Roman Britain, the half-British, half-Roman doctor Acturus investigates the murder of a spy from the Emperor Domitian, and scrambles to protect his friend Agricola, governor of Britannia. Ken Bruen says that this book moves "like a gladiator on speed."
