The Cairo codex

About this book

A riveting novel of two women, two millennia apart, set in the exotic cultures of ancient and present-day Egypt. Justine Jenner has come to Cairo to forge her own path from the legacies of her parents, an Egyptian beauty and an American archaeologist. After an earthquake nearly buries her alive in an underground crypt, she discovers an ancient codex, written by a woman whose secrets threaten the foundations of both Christian and Muslim beliefs. As political instability rocks the region, Justine is thrust into a world where even those she trusts may betray her in order to control the codex's revelations.
