Synopsis: When a sacred relic is stolen from its subterranean guarded vault, Dr. Steven Cross, amateur cryptologist, becomes embroiled in a deadly quest to decipher one of history’s most enigmatic documents – a 15th century parchment written entirely in unbreakable code; The Voynich Manuscript. Stalked by secret societies, and aided by the daughter of a murdered colleague, a trail of riddles catapults Cross from England to Italy to the Middle East, where a Byzantine web of ancient secrets leads him to a revelation so profound it will change the world order.
Review: As you know, we not only love mystery books on this blog, but we adore historical novels. So if an author combines the two, we're gonna be hooked! I have to admit I saw many similarities between the premise and other novels, like The DaVinci Code, but the story kept me reading and I couldn't wait to see how it ended! In fact, I kept thinking, this has GOT to be made into a movie! The characters and plot are very satisfying- so much that I don't want to give any of it away to you! You really need to pick this one- it's the perfect pre-Summer read!
