Thriller
When hotshot young investment banker Edward Wozny is called
to the home of an important and mysterious client, the last
thing he expects is to be ordered to uncrate and organize a
library of rare books. Edward's indignation turns to
curiosity when he learns that among the volumes there may be
hidden a unique medieval codex, a priceless treasure kept
sealed away for many years and for many reasons. Enlisting the help of Margaret Napier, a passionate and
brilliant medieval scholar, Edward learns the strange
history of the codex's author, Gervase of Langford, as well
as the dark, intricate tale that lies within the missing
medieval text. As Edward's obsession with the codex deepens,
friends introduce him to MOMUS, an addictive computer game
set in a fantasy world that, perplexingly, begins to
parallel the legend of the codex. Yet MOMUS confounds more
than it clarifies, and it becomes evident that someone is
trying to prevent Edward and Margaret from ever finding the
elusive codex. As they race against an unknown enemy, the
two begin to uncover secrets that the codex's powerful owner
will do anything to keep hidden.
