During Derby weekend at Louisville’s Seelbach Hotel, a rare book scholar is found dead—his final clues hidden inside a first-edition Great Gatsby and a torn Torah scroll. When graduate student Rebecca Zelman uncovers a hidden code connecting her grandfather—a Holocaust survivor turned bellhop—to stolen Nazi artifacts and falsified digital heirs, she’s thrust into a web of art laundering, AI-generated identities, and a secret society still profiting from World War II.
As old symbols resurface—Pegasus, the fleur-de-lis, and a Star of David in a rose compass—Rebecca races to broadcast the truth buried beneath bourbon, bridges, and bloodlines.
The Gatsby Codex is a cinematic historical thriller that blends espionage, generational trauma, and coded legacy into a modern battle over memory itself.
