The Roman Mysteries: The Enemies of Jupiter: Book 7

Description

February, AD 80. An imperial messenger summons Jonathan's father to Rome, where the fever which started in Ostia is now threatening to become a plague. Jonathan and his three friends go, too, and need to use all their skills to solve a dangerous mystery for the Emperor Titus. Since the first title, THE THIEVES OF OSTIA, was published in September 2001, the series has become a huge success - the author has had a great response from children at her many speaking engagements and through her Roman Mysteries website.

Caroline Lawrence is an American who studied Classical Archaeology at Cambridge and followed with a degree in Hebrew and Jewish studies at the University of London. She is married to a graphic designer and lives in London.

"The Enemies of Jupiter by Caroline Lawrence is the seventh and best in the superb detective series set in ancient Rome, where four children from different backgrounds band together to solve mysteries and right wrongs. The best thing about these books is that they are steeped in fantastically interesting and authentic historical detail." Daily Mail, 5 December 2003
