Ancient Rome, four young detectives and another mystery

Dal risvolto di copertina interno

April, AD 80.

Ostia, the port of Rome.

The sailing season has begun, but the omens are not favourable.

Lupus longs to travel to the Greek islands, to find his mother and fulfil his uncle's dying wish. When he and his friends, Flavia, Nubia and Jonathan, hear that freeborn children are being kidnapped again, they set sail in spite of the omens.

But the voyage is fraught with danger: someone - or something - seems to be against them. Their mission takes them on a thrilling journey from Corinth to Rhodes, site of one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. There they encounter a powerful slave-dealer known as 'the Colossus', and when Flavia, Nubia and Jonathan are caught in a deadly trap, Lupus is forced to make a terrible choice.
