A centuries-old secret. A murdered mentor. And a conspiracy that threatens to rewrite history.

When Detective Izzy Rossi's mentor is brutally murdered, she uncovers a hidden truth: the Codex Alimentarius Pontificum, an ancient, coded book holding the sinister "recipes" of a secret society manipulating world events from the shadows of the Vatican. From the dark alleys of Rome to the gleaming spires of London, Izzy is thrust into a desperate race against time. Hunted by the ruthless Silas and his shadowy operatives, she must decipher the Codex's chilling secrets and expose the powerful Cardinal Valerius Thorne, the modern face of this unseen empire.

With the help of a brilliant journalist, a reclusive historian, and a mysterious former Vatican operative, Izzy fights to bring the truth to light. But as the Codex's shocking revelations ignite a global firestorm, the Secret Council unleashes its full, terrifying power, determined to bury the truth and silence everyone who dares to challenge them.

Can one detective's courage shatter centuries of deception, or will the world remain a pawn in a game played by unseen hands?

Dive into The Codex, a pulse-pounding thriller that blends historical mystery with modern-day conspiracy, perfect for fans of Dan Brown and Steve Berry.
