Four siblings-children and teenagers aged 9 to 15-become entangled in a peculiar kidnapping case in Rome. The kidnap victim himself appears to be trying to make contact with them. It is a mysterious tale. As they work together to shed light on the affair, they visit many locations in Rome-some frequented by tourists, others known primarily to locals-all of which are vividly described and illustrated. By the time the "kidnapping" reaches its happy conclusion, both the children and the readers have learned at least as much about Rome as a guided tour group would.
