This second BYZANTINE REQUIEM of the Justinian era Private hard-boiled sleuth Theophilus Vardas, deals with a “delicate” subject which, unfortunately, remains until modern times, not the same as cruel perhaps but this Historical fiction Novel is not irrelevant. Children abuse and Justice are matters of all civilizations in human History. It is all fictional of course, a Noirish mystery adventure more to entertain than educate. The context is rather strong and not very sensitive but it reflects strictly personal ideas. The first part had been previously published as 14CHILDREN and the second part as NEMESIS. Since there’s a continuity to the narrative, here they are presented as REQUIEM No2. Theo Vardas and his acolyte Turk are assigned a case by none else the emperor Justinian himself and the result is a … bloodbath. Physically and mentally. Sensitive readers kindly stay away.
