Marcus Corvinu is the pen name of David Wishart, a Scottish writer who has produced a long-running series of historical mysteries set in ancient Rome. The name comes from his protagonist, Marcus Corvinus, a Roman nobleman who investigates crimes during the early Imperial period.
The series began with Ovid (1995), which involves the real historical exile of the poet Ovid, and has continued for over twenty books spanning the political intrigues and murders of ancient Rome. Wishart brings genuine classical knowledge to his plots while keeping the tone accessible and entertaining.
