The Da Vinci Code meets The English Patient in this thrilling new novel by Oregon author, Kyla Merwin.

Unravel the mysteries of early Christianity as three daring friends search the remote and mysterious landscapes of 1947 Egypt--unveiling the most controversial archaeological discovery in 2,000 years.

In their search for the lost Gnostic Gospels, the intrepid adventurers confront religious zealots charged with destroying the manuscripts, a clan of feuding tribesmen bent on blood revenge, a conniving billionaire demanding the promised secrets of endless power, an obsessed agent of the Egyptian government, and their own deepest fears.

The Lost Codex is the story of danger, love, betrayal and choice. It's a journey though the fears and ecstasies of the human spirit, and a search for the most controversial religious material of the 20th century.
