Murder at the Colosseum

Join private detectives Daniel and Abigail Wilson in a dastardly, 1900s-set mystery starring Rome’s ancient Colosseum as the sleuthing husband-and-wife team turn globetrotters. The 11th book in the Museum Mysteries series.
Rome, 1900 and Abigail returns to her archaeologist roots when invited to speak at a festival on Ancient Rome in the city famed for the Forum, Spanish Steps ad Trevi Fountain. Hoping for an Italian interlude and holiday, the Victorian sleuths soon find the bloody and ancient past of the gladiatorial arena all too vivid when Abigail’s colleague and his wife are both found murdered within the Colosseum itself. Far from a respite from crime, the Wilsons are soon seeing the Eternal City in a less rose-tinted light as local authorities impede the investigation and a mafiosi criminal underworld make the city a dangerous place for the investigators. Can the Wilson’s uncover the truth without suffering a deadly fate themselves?
