The Roman Mysteries Book XII A RETURN TO ROME. Flavia and her friends experience the danger and exhilaration of chariot racing in the circus Maximus. It's September AD 80. Flavia, Jonathon, Lupus and Nubia are back in Rome to celebrate the Festival of Jupiter at the town house of Senator Cornix. A famous racehorse has gone missing just days before important events at the Circus Maximus. With their new companion Scopos, the young charioteer from Delphi, the friends must infiltrate rival facing factions to discover who stole the horse, and why. Violence, deception, secret identities and a deadly curse are all ingredients in this twelfth installment of the exciting series.
Flavia and her friends go to Rome to celebrate the Festival of Jupiter at Senator Cornix's town house, where they befriend the young charioteer, Scopas, and quickly find themselves embroiled in a campaign to sabotage one of the rival racing factions.
