An action-packed archaeological thriller from the USA Today bestselling author of LOCH and the Australian Shadows Award winning author of Hidden City! A lost book holds the secret to eternal life. Archaeologists excavating a mass grave in a historic New York City cemetery make a gruesome discovery: stacked like cord wood are skeletal remains going back decades, but all have one thing in common. Each skull bears a hole in the exact same location. When their friend is murdered investigating this bizarre discovery, Jake Crowley and Rose Black set off in search of the killer. Their path will take them to abandoned hospitals, hidden chambers, and into the depths of the strange world that lies beneath New York City in search of Edgar Allan Poe's secret journal. Praise for David Wood and Alan Baxter "Blood Codex is a genuine up all night got to see what happens next thriller that grabs you from the first page and doesn't let go until the last." Steven Savile "Rip roaring action from start to finish. Wit and humor throughout. Just one question - how soon until the next one? Because I can't wait." Graham Brown"A page-turning yarn. Indiana Jones better watch his back!"Jeremy Robinson"A a story that thrills and makes one think beyond the boundaries of mere fiction and enter the world of 'why not'?" David Lynn Golemon,"A twisty tale of adventure and intrigue that never lets up and never lets go!" Robert Masello"A fast-paced storyline that holds the reader right from the start, . and a no-nonsense story-telling approach that lets the unfolding action speak for itself." Van Ikin"With mysterious rituals, macabre rites and superb supernatural action scenes, Wood and Baxter deliver a fast-paced horror thriller." J.F.Penn"Wood and Baxter have taken on the classic black magic/cult conspiracy subgenre, chucked in a toxic mix of weirdness, creepshow chills and action, and created a tale that reads like a latter-day Hammer Horror thriller. Nice, dark fun." Robert Hood
