The Assassins of Rome

'Jonathan watched the red-hot end of the branding iron move towards his shoulder. It was not the pain that made him pass out, but the smell of burning flesh.'

It is mid-September of AD 79. When Jonathan goes missing, his friends track him to Rome. Has he been abducted or is he on a quest? Their search takes them to the Circus Maximus, the Palatine Hill and finally the Golden House of Nero, where they must face a deadly assassin. This mystery is not for the faint-hearted.
