PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

An addictive, thrilling work that will have you questioning your existence.

What if your life was by design, but not your own?

BERLIN. When Calla Cress, a British Museum curator arrives in Berlin to validate the authenticity of the Deveron Manuscript, a baffling artefact that has defied interpretation for centuries, she discovers a shocking secret about its origins.

Lost during the Cold War, the manuscript has drawn the attention of five, global governments whose strong interest in the encrypted artefact has spiralled to classified levels.

Against protocol, Calla holds on to the Deveron and is drawn into its intense, enigmatic puzzle convinced it conceals the answers she seeks: the mysterious disappearance of her parents and the secretive circumstances surrounding her adoption.

To stay alive, Calla must unravel the manuscript’s mystery and withhold its decryption from those that seek it most…the government.

Clawing for survival, she is joined by faithful companions Nash Shields, an NSA intelligence analyst, and Jack Kleve, a technology entrepreneur. The trio embark on a complex journey from London to Rome, Macedonia to an ancient Jordanian city and from Morocco to the wilderness of Sub-Saharan Africa that throws them into a mystical secret dating back several centuries. Racing against time, the complex case pushes the three friends to explain the unexplainable. The more they learn, the greater their lives are put at risk until Calla is faced with the ultimate test of - sacrificing her friends’ lives or unravelling her past.

THE DEVERON MANUSCRIPT is a fast-paced, on-the-edge action-adventure seeped in history, combining suspense and a hint of the supernatural.
