September AD 80. Flavia and her friends go to Rome to celebrate the
Festival of Jupiter at Senator Cornix's town house. When a famous
racehorse goes missing, Nubia sets out to recover it. The four friends
find themselves caught up in a plot against one of the rival factions,
the Greens. Who is trying to sabotage the charioteers? Could it be an
inside job, or someone with a grudge from long ago? And how many men and
horses will die before the killer is caught?
