The friends are on a dangerous assignment in Rome, where an assassin seeks to kill the emperor, in the fourth Roman Mysteries adventure.

The fourth in Caroline Lawrence´s internationally bestselling Roman Mysteries series, re-issued with a fantastic new cover look.

Jonathan goes on a secret quest to Rome, and Flavia, Nubia and Lupus set out to find him. Their dangerous mission takes them to the Golden House of Nero where a deadly assassin is rumoured to be at work - and they learn what happened to Jonathan´s family during the terrible destruction of Jerusalem nine years earlier.
A talented storyteller, Caroline Lawrence has created a delightfully readable and accessible series that children will want to read time and time again.

I enjoyed this book a lot - it won me over early on with a dream that made use of Penelope´s loom, combining some of my favourite themes! And Flavia describing the under-construction Colosseum as ´colossal´ made me smile (and yes, the author´s note at the back makes clear that the name comes from the statue, not the amphitheatre itself, but Flavia doesn´t know that!).
