«O Códice Secreto» is the literary thriller by Lev Grossman, published by Editorial Presença in paperback (304 pages, in Portuguese).
Edward Wozny, a New York banker, organizes the library of an aristocratic couple and becomes obsessed with a 14th-century codex attributed to Gervase de Langford. The investigation, between virtual reality and medieval scholarship, revolves around an encrypted message that could hide an apocalyptic secret.
This Portuguese translation, published in 2005, corresponds to the original novel Codex, which appeared in 2004.
For readers of mystery and historical fiction, especially those who enjoy stories about books, manuscripts, and medieval enigmas.
