Twelve Suspects

<p>The Roman emperor is fearful of a Delphic oracle which states that "From the bones of twelve a phoenix shall rise that will rule Rome."

Their disappearances resolve into bones and a surprise murder mystery.  Read this work to place yourself in the first century where oracles bones and small groups can shake the foundations of empire.</p>
