From Booklist
Thrilling horse racing is at the center of this twelfth installment in the Roman Mysteries series. While visiting Rome, young friends Flavia, Jonathan, Nubia, and Lupus help an orphan find a job in a stable and become embroiled in intrigues surrounding high-stakes chariot races. Magical curses, disguised identities, and extrasensory visions deepen the heart-pounding action, which begins without much background scene-setting, making this a better choice for readers who know the series. As always, Lawrence's classical-world details are vivid and fascinating; this title includes a map of ancient Rome, a diagram of a chariot and the Circus Mazimus, and a full glossary. Engberg, Gillian
