Dalla quarta di copertina

Another mystery for four young detectives in Roman times

Dal risvolto di copertina interno

It's September, AD 80

Fire haunts the four detectives in different ways. First of all, an accident at home leads Flavia, Nubia, Jonathan and Lupus to Rome - in time to plunge into the exciting world of chariot-racing, and solve a new mystery.

A famous racehorse has gone missing just days before important events at the Circus Maximus. With their new friend Scopos, the young charioteer from Delphi, the friends must infiltrate rival racing factions to discover who stole the horse, and why. There's a large reward to be won! But who are their allies and where are their foes? And will the fiery nightmares from the past stand in the way of getting to the truth?

Life's a circus, but not every act is what it first appears to be, in the twelfth dramatic title in the Roman Mystery series.
