Product description

Review

A compulsively readable novel, Iain Pears

A genuine treat, with its sneaky plot and richly textured storytelling. It also moves so fast that readers won't realize how smart it is, San Francisco Chronicle

Codex takes its place on the shelf [with] The Name of the Rose, Possession and A Case of Curiosities, and it's as entertaining as any of them, New York Times

Fabulously entertaining ... By turns fascinating, compelling, and deliciously disturbing. It's an intelligent thriller that truly is just that: intelligently thrilling, Boston Globe

Mesmerizing from start to finish ... A fabulous double-helix of a novel, Baltimore Sun

Synopsis

About to depart on his first vacation in years, Edward Wozny, a hot-shot young banker, is sent to help one of his firm's most important and mysterious clients. When asked to un-crate and organise a personal library of rare books, Edward's indignation turns to intrigue as he realises that among the volumes there may be hidden a unique medieval codex, a treasure kept sealed away for many years and for many reasons. Edward's intrigue becomes an obsession that only deepens as friends draw him into a peculiar and addictive computer game, as mystifying parallels between the game's virtual reality and the legend of the codex emerge..."A compulsively readable novel" - Iain Pears. "A genuine treat, with its sneaky plot and richly textured storytelling. It also moves so fast that readers won't realize how smart it is" - "San Francisco Chronicle". ""Codex" takes its place on the shelf [with] "The Name of the Rose", "Possession" and "A Case of Curiosities", and it's as entertaining as any of them." - "New York Times".
