Publisher Description

Lupus longs to travel to the Greek islands, to find his mother and fulfill his uncle's dying wish. When he and Flavia, Nubia, and Jonathan hear that freeborn children are being kidnapped, they set sail. Their mission takes them from Corinth to Rhodes, site of one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world, where they encounter a slave-dealer known as the Colossus - and a deadly trap.

"The four young detectives sail to Rhodes (along with Flavia's father) to find a slave dealer who has been kidnapping freeborn children and selling them. On the way, Lupus slips away to a nearby island, where he was born, to search for his mother. The confrontation on Rhodes is quite dramatic."
