Synopsis
Four children from Rome, New York, Paris and Shanghai meet by chance at a hotel in Rome and discover they were all born on the same day. A stranger entrusts them with a suitcase and is killed the next day by people who want what it holds. Inside they find clues, including five spinning tops, that point towards ancient artifacts linked to a trial that returns once every hundred years. Elettra, Harvey, Mistral and Sheng must work out what the first object is and find it in the streets and hidden places of Rome, while enemies who want the suitcase race them to it.
