***A female James Bond with a Matrix twist.***
***Join thousands who have devoured the dramatic action-adventure thrillers. ***
The secret of the manuscript is only the beginning . . . the truth could cost her life. Twenty-eight years ago, her parents went missing. Raised an orphan, she’ll never stop until she finds them. But some secrets are better left buried. Now British Museum curator Calla Cress is plunged headfirst into the mystery of an unbreakable code, written on a two-thousand-year-old manuscript whose origin is as debatable as the origin of life. But why does the manuscript interest the world’s most dangerous secret government agency? When the highly guarded document vanishes in Berlin with a long-hidden secret concerning Calla’s family, she finds herself up against an adversary with superior firepower. Calla must use her wits to decode the manuscript’s riddle before it’s too late. Could its decryption lead to an astounding technological breakthrough and a dangerous new world? Forced on a run halfway across the world, Calla dodges sniper shots and globetrotting spies into a desperate hunt for truth and survival. Nothing in either the modern or the ancient world is what it appears to be. Soon she discovers she’s made of tougher stuff than she ever imagined. The Secret of the Lost Manuscript delivers high octane action, and provocative twists you won’t see coming. Don’t miss this action-adventure, exhilarating ride that will liven a boring afternoon, and stretch your mind to see a little further.

About the author
Rose Sandy
25 books43 followersAUTHOR OF INTERNATIONAL THRILLER AND SUSPENSE.
MUSES ALL THINGS CREATIVE, TECHNOLOGY AND HISTORY.
Rose never set out to be a writer. She set out to be a communicator with whatever landed in her hands, but soon the keyboard became her best friend. Rose writes suspense and intelligence thrillers where technology and espionage meet history in pulse-racing action-adventure. She dips into the mysteries of our world, the fascination of technology breakthroughs, the secrets of history and global intelligence to deliver thrillers that weave suspense, conspiracy and a dash of romantic thrill.
A globe trotter and a diplomat’s daughter, her thrillers span cities and continents and she likes to take her characters where she has lived or travelled. Rose’s writing approach is to hit hard with a good dose of tension and humor. Her characters zip in and out of intelligence and government agencies, dodge enemies in world heritage sites, navigate technology markets and always land in deep trouble.
Rose speaks four languages and earned international business and economics degrees at The American University of Paris, and also holds a minor degree in political science and government. She has worked internationally for several years in multinational corporations including two of the world’s largest technology companies. She has also worked extensively in media, book publishing, FMCG companies and the entertainment industry.
When not tapping away on a smartphone writing app, Rose is usually found in the British Library scrutinizing the Magna Carta, roaming Churchill’s War Rooms or sampling a new gadget. Most times she’s in deep conversations with ex-military and secret service intelligence officers, Foreign Service staff or engrossed in a TED talk with a box of popcorn. Hm... she might just learn something that’ll be useful.

The premise may be interesting: the discovery of a lost manuscript and the secrets it contains, but the author's use of vocabulary was creative to say the least. Words were used in unusual ways that didn't always make sense and sentence structure was sometimes strange making for disjointed reading. In addition there were some leaps in logic and flow that made it difficult to read. I finished it but had to push myself. I would not recommend this book.
