His task is to search their library stacks for a precious medieval codex, a treasure kept sealed away for many years and for many reasons. Enlisting the help of passionate medievalist Margaret Napier, Edward is determined to solve the mystery of the codex-to understand its significance to his wealthy clients, and to decipher the seeming parallels between the legend of the codex and an obsessive role-playing computer game that has absorbed him in the dark hours of the night. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe chilling resolution brings together the medieval and the modern aspects of the plot in a twist worthy of earning comparisons to novels by William Gibson and Dan Brown, not to mention those by A. S. Byatt and Umberto Eco. Lev Grossman's Codex is a thriller of the highest order. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mariner Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48515432939769,"sku":"9780156028592","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/1811\/7625\/files\/imageloader_6754c75a-f8ab-4bf4-9e4a-332980b8717e.jpg?v=1781207763","url":"https:\/\/hookeandplotte.com\/products\/codex","provider":"Hooke and Plotte Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
