From the bestselling author of Horrible Histories, named 'the outstanding children's non-fiction author of the 20th century' by Books For Keeps____________________AD 64Rome is a frightening place.

But little does Christian slave girl Mary realise the dangers that await her when she accompanies her master to the city.

It is the day of the chariot races and Mary finds herself the only witness to a terrible crime.

Soon it is not just the thieves and drunks she has to worry about, but someone far more cruel and powerful... A tale based on a key moment in Roman history, full of Terry Deary's dark humour and dry wit. ____________________‘Bubbling with wit, language play and robust dialogue....just the right mix of ingredients to trigger young readers' interest in all things historical.’ Books For Keeps
