From Cambridge Scholar to International Thriller Writer: Philip G. Cohen’s 'Codex'

Codex by Philip G Cohen
Combining the intrigue of Umberto Eco with the narrative propulsion of Dan Brown, Codex offers readers a meticulously researched and utterly plausible answer to one of history’s most explosive “what ifs.”
Set mainly in Cadaqués, Spain, with forays into Girona, Peralada, and the volcanic landscapes of La Garrotxa, Codex follows Xavier de Torrent de Tête — legendary “Librarian of Lost Books” and vexillologist — as he faces the return of his old nemesis, Dr. Byblos Younis, the serial killer from the infamous “Hieroglyphics Homicides.” But revenge is only one of Xavier’s problems.
When a mummified knight is unearthed in a dormant volcanic cone, clutching an armoured egg containing three ancient scrolls, Xavier and his daughter, September Eleven, are drawn into a web of secrets spanning the Knights Templar, the Passion of Christ, and a covert modern sect known as the Knights of the New Order; a group intent on cloning Jesus Christ.
Through in-depth historical and scientific detail, Cohen’s narrative makes the seemingly impossible terrifyingly believable. From sigillography and medieval mortuary rolls to cutting-edge DNA science, every twist and revelation is grounded in research that rewards the attentive reader.
Codex' is now available across major UK retailers and online platforms.
