Another great book in this series! The action just does not stop, and for every mystery that we solve another puzzle, another enigma, pops up in its place!

In this book, Dom is hoping to run in the World Youth Olympics in Rome, but when he gets there the Italian mafia is out for his blood, as well as a young man with a particular vendetta against his family. He gets into knife fights, he's running from the police, he smuggles a valuable coin into the country, he breaks into places and breaks out of places! And through it all, Dom is just trying to get to one man, a famous treasure hunter, who the Debt wants in Australia ASAP.

But aside from his task for the Debt, Dom is training in the Olympic races trying to keep his running career from going down the drain, and he decides to branch off on a little mission of his own. He goes digging into his family heritage at an old village church, and makes more enemies and allies than he can handle. Dom gets into some serious trouble, but the writing is always humorous and sarcastic, making this a fun and quick read.

I was disappointed that there is almost nothing with Dom's family or his friends, Tristan and Imogen, in this book. But they got a lot of exposure and development in the last two books, so this book focuses more on some other areas, and other friends, like Seb and Rashid.
I am so intrigued by the mystery surrounding Seb. Is he friend or foe? He seems to be helping Dom, but for what purpose? And he never questions Dom's weird excuses or plans. He's definitely up to something. I just wish I knew what! The suspense!! Must. Keep. Reading.

The descriptions of Italy are perfection. I could really feel myself there at the Colosseum with Dom and his friends.
Throughout all these books, the descriptions of running are also really relatable. I don't even like running, but when Dom describes how he feels when he is running, I can understand his mindset. His love for running pours off the page! Really good writing!
