'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 Edward Wozny, a hot shot young banker, is sent to help one of his firm's most important and mysterious clients. When asked to uncrate and organise a personal library of rare books, Edward's initial indignation turns to intrigue as he realises that among the volumes there may be hidden a unique medieval codex, a priceless bound manuscript that has been 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 and mystifying parallels begin to emerge between the game's virtual reality and the legend of the codex... '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 '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
