When a huge reward is offered for finding a champion chariot-race horse, Flavia and friends decide to investigate. They find the horse very quickly, but was it too easy?

This book has modern resonances in that Scopas, the charioteer of the title, is autistic and bullied by the other stable lads.
picked it up this morning, couldn't put it down... I should know better by this time!
