In the bucolic town of Covington, Vermont, home of Graebner College, something is deadly wrong. Deep beneath the two-century-old library building, Sam Whitney and Lenore Simensen come upon an ancient medieval ritual called The Code. With it, they are able to make vast sums of money. Everything is perfect – perfect until something very dark and very dangerous is unleashed. Katy Malone and Nick Sanchez, two ace students at Graebner, discover what Sam and Lenore are up to. All are trapped in a deadly web spun by The Code. Now, the only question is, who will survive?
Feathered Quill Book Reviews
"I can't tell you how much I really want to tell you about this incredible book. All I can say, without giving away some seriously cool plot points, is that you have to read this book. For those who read this author's psychological thriller, The Ostermann House, and could barely breathe because of the excitement, The Code runs neck and neck with that one. I guarentee, you'll never look at those quaint New England villages in the same way ever again! 5 Stars!!"
The US Review of Books - RECOMMENDED
"A prolific author, Klein has produced a dazzling new work of fiction with a Jungian slant. In this story, a couple of college students in Vermont clearly get in over their heads with a discovery they make in their library via a secret passage. The author's characters come alive with vivid gestures and spicy dialogue. The atmosphere and suspense are built carefully, and the reader is made to feel part of the adventures through creepy, oddly lit, and bad-smelling places."
Reader's Favorite Winner of the 2022 Feathered Quill Silver Medal Award for Mystery and Suspense
"The Code was a roller coaster ride with never-ending twists and turns...The suspense kept me on the edge of my seat, turning the pages as fast as I could. This book was an amazing work of suspense."
