A humble metalworker in the Romano-British town of Lindum, Caradoc is content to spend his days trying to fill the little savings pot he keeps buried beneath his floorboards. Yet the town is rife with political scheming and Caradoc and his friends inevitably become drawn into a sordid world of kidnappings, theft and corruption. This trio of narrative short stories follows the adventures of Caradoc and Co. as they attempt to foil dastardly schemes and save both themselves and their town. The author is an archaeologist and museum curator, and these stories blend our understandings of the townscape and people of Roman Lincoln with fun fictional adventures.
