Question about this title

Olympia, 200 b.c.: Melissa and Kallias await the participation at the Olympic Games of their brother Theron with great anticipation. When they receive an anonymous threat of an attack on the participants they start investigating and end up in a network of intrigue, blackmail and abduction. They know one thing: if they won't stop the conspirators, their brother Theron is in extreme danger. The Olympic games provide the background of another exciting crime story. The reader is invited to help with the crime investigation by solving questions at the end of each chapter.

Against a backdrop of historic events, children from various epochs solve mysteries. Whether it is a theft in a monastery, a gang of confidence tricksters in Barbarossa's time, a fraudulent competition in the Circus Maximus or a plot centered on the payment of Varus' legionaries - our History Mysteries bring the Middle Ages, ancient Egypt and the Roman Empire to life. The detailed appendix provides information about the epoch in question. History mysteries make history fun!
