 | | The Magdalene Code
Edmund Kwaw's The Magdalene Code is a gripping novel that centers upon a sacred scroll written by Mary Magdalene in 302 AD, at the request of Jesus Christ. Containing potentially cataclysmic repercussions for Christianity and the world, the scroll is hidden for almost two millennia, but is then discovered, triggering a murder. Pursuing the case is an NYPD detective, a group of Vatican extremists, and a satanic cult -- all bent upon finding the scroll, for their own reasons.
