Saturn Over The Water is one of Mr. Priestly’s surprises: it is an exciting, fast-moving novel of adventure that is enlivened and enriched by his humour and superb sense of character, place and atmosphere.

Isabel begs him to find her husband, Joe, a Cambridge scientist, who has surprisingly given up his job in Peru and vanished without trace. In his last letter to his wife Joe Farne has scribbleda curious jumble of names and symbols.
