"Readers will find themselves incapable of putting this book down." - The Symi Visitor.
A mysterious iron chest arrived on the island of Symi, Greece in 1882 and was immediately hidden for its own safety.
121 years later and Jason is working as a holiday rep for SARGO holidays. When his grandmother turns up as one of his guests she brings with her a locked cigarette case, left to Jason by his recently departed grandfather and given to him on Symi in 1944. The case is opened and reveals a piece of music, but the music is not what it seems and Jason and his small group of pensioners soon realise that they have stumbled on a secret that has been kept hidden on Symi all these years. A secret both dangerous and valuable.
Jason and the Sargonauts is a contemporary comedy adventure full of fun and mystery, ‘A comic, camp and musical Da Vinci Code.’

This takes a while to get into its groove, but once it does it definitely qualifies as a page-turner! It's like Dan Brown meets Whitehall Farce. only set on a Greek island. The plot is very clever and the dialogue extremely funny, whilst the unexpected twists and turns keep you involved. I began by thinking, "well, this is OK", but ended up by being totally unable to hear when my wife spoke to me, as I was so involved!! It may be a bit "modern" for some peoples' tastes, but all in all a very well written and hugely entertaining read.
