Mystery, mayhem and mythology meet in a story of Medusa - like you have never seen her before. A modern retelling of the ancient Greek tale, told with elements of crime/mystery, comedy, and social commentary - with a feminist twist. In modern day Australia the Greek goddess Hera and her family have accepted their forced divine retirement and live out their immortality in the suburbs, their previously exciting world replaced by endless days of quiet resentment and mystical reality television programs. That is until the day the head of the infamous gorgon, Medusa, is stolen, AGAIN. In a race against time Hera and her step daughter, the goddess Athena, join forces with a rag tag bunch of ancient Greek deities and mystical creatures to try to find the culprit and recover Medusa's head before it creates havoc across the mortal and divine realms. It's Janet Evanovich meets Terry Pratchett in this entertaining and fun urban mythology which reimagines the original tales of Greek gods, goddesses, monsters and creatures into a fun but thought-provoking examination of justice, male entitlement and the ways in which powerful women have been treated throughout the history of storytelling.
