The Jerusalem Code (Book 2 of 3)
Six fragments found. One missing.
A two-thousand-year struggle to control the narrative.
And a betrayal that reaches into Ava’s own family.
Ava Calloway arrives in Jerusalem with the research community in turmoil. The fragments she and Marcus recovered in Alexandria and Rome point to a larger record hidden across the Mediterranean world. But the next piece is failing, and its deterioration threatens to destroy everything they have uncovered.
With time running out, Ava and Marcus navigate underground chambers, ancient tunnel networks, and political pressure from institutions determined to shape the story to their advantage. Every lead brings them closer to the next fragment—and closer to the realization that someone close to them has been manipulating the search from the beginning.
The hunt takes them from Jerusalem to Istanbul and finally to Masada, where one final clue reveals the magnitude of the conspiracy they have stepped into.
Some secrets were buried for a reason.
Some were stolen.
And some were protected by people willing to die to keep them hidden.
For readers of Dan Brown, Raymond Khoury, and J. F. Penn. Book 2 of 3 of The Apocrypha Trilogy - Ava Calloway Universe
