About the book
Rome, 1900. A decade and a half ago, Abigail Wilson embarked on an archaeological excavation at the Colosseum as she began her career. Now, she returns to the Eternal City as a featured speaker at a festival highlighting Classical Rome, which includes the historic site of gladiatorial combat. Accompanying Abigail is her spouse, Daniel Wilson, a skilled detective known for solving intricate mysteries alongside her. While the journey was intended to be a well-deserved vacation, the violent past of the ancient amphitheater resurfaces with the brutal slaying of a colleague and his partner at the Colosseum.
Transitioning from the Forum to the Spanish Steps, Rome transforms into the setting for a new investigation for the Museum Detectives. As they navigate through the challenges posed by local law enforcement and questionable mafia influences, will they be able to unravel the secrets behind this tragic event?
