EB Lyner has been lucky so far, considering that neither of his parents wants custody of him.

EB Lyner has been lucky so far, considering that neither of his parents wants custody of him. Miraculously, he hasn't been caught tagging utility boxes or breaking into foreclosed houses in his Phoenix neighborhood. But things are about to change when he decides to trespass and enters a multi-million dollar home in nearby Scottsdale. What he doesn't know is that the remnants of a murder are hidden in this house. Its victim is trapped in time and can only rest if EB agrees to find her killer in the ancient Roman city of Herculaneum, 78 A.D. Haunted by a voice that keeps repeating "Expiscor quisnam iuguolo mihi" (Find out who killed me), EB agrees to let her guide him back in time. His Latin stinks and his detective skills are even worse, but he has nothing to lose; that is of course, if he can solve this murder before Mt. Vesuvius erupts on August 24, 79 A.D. With limited time and next to no resources, EB Lyner is left doing the only thing he knows how - tag the city until he gets an answer. But will it be too late? He's already impersonating the nephew of a wealthy landowner, unaware that the real relative is on his way to Herculaneum; and if that isn't daunting enough, the murderer is still at large. Time is something EB does not have. His wit, humor and resolve will have to suffice.

Autorenporträt
New York native Ann I. Goldfarb spent most of her life in education, first as a classroom teacher and later as a middle school principal and professional staff developer. Writing has always been an integral part of her world. For the past decade, she has written non-fiction for Madavor Media/Jones Publishing, but her real passion is writing mystery-suspense-adventure for young adult audiences. Time travel, the vehicle she embraces, is her hook into historical fiction. Her first novel, THE FACE OUT OF TIME, received a literary award from Arizona Authors Association in 2011 and her novel, THE LAST TAG, was a finalist in the 2012 New Mexico-Arizona Book Awards. In addition, she has received excellent national reviews (KIRKUS REVIEWS) for THE LAST TAG and LIGHT RIDERS AND THE MORENCI MINE MURDER. Upon learning that snow was optional, she and her family moved to Arizona, where they currently reside near the foothills of the White Tank Mountains.
