Today we're proud to announce the release of Cicero, a full-cast historical detective story starring Samuel Barnett (Dirk Gently in the recent hit Netflix series), written by David Llewellyn and produced and directed by Scott Handcock:

Rome, 80 BC.

A wealthy landowner has been murdered in the street. His son, Sextus Roscius, is accused of the crime. When every lawyer in the city turns down his case, there's only one man who can save Roscius from a guilty verdict and a particularly grisly execution…

Marcus Tullius Cicero: a mere twenty-six years old, but a rising star in the Forum. Together with his brother, Quintus, Cicero must investigate the murder of Roscius’s father and find the true culprit; but in their quest for justice, the brothers Cicero may be about to make some very powerful enemies indeed...

Cicero is available from today on Download for just £5. If you're using the free Big Finish App for Android or Apple devices, you can be listening within minutes wherever you are. For the curious, a free 12 minute excerpt can be listened to - see here.
