Cairo Jim and the Chaos from Crete
(2012)(Book 17 in the Cairo Jim series)
A novel by Geoffrey McSkimming
Strange, toxic gases are spreading through the ruins of the ancient Palace of Knossos in Crete, forcing tourists and visitors to abandon the site. Where are these gases coming from? Who is the rambunctious man in gas mask and rubber suit who appears amid these foul odours? And what extraordinary secret lies beneath the ruins of Knossos -- a secret that many have believed was, until now, a mere myth?
Cairo Jim (that well-known archaeologist and little-known poet) and his friends Doris the macaw and Brenda the Wonder Camel uncover one of the grossest distortions of history in this, the tenth suspenseful and startling mystery of history in the Cairo Jim Chronicles!
"If Mr. McSkimming's tongue were more firmly embedded in his cheek he'd risk permanent speech impediment." -- Australian Book Review
"When you tire of stories about the places and people you know, try the witty word play and over-the-top adventure of Cairo Jim for an outrageous tonic." -- The Age
Genre: Children's Fiction
