About the Book:  

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. . .
