The Ophidian Key

A disgraced historian framed for murder holds the only clue to an ancient biological weapon hidden beneath the Yucatán jungle. Dr. Scott Kensington memorized fragments of a sixteenth-century codex before it was stolen—fragments that a fanatical shadow society will kill to obtain. Now hunted across three continents alongside a fierce photojournalist and a Jesuit archivist with dangerous secrets, Scott must decode a dead conquistador's scattered confessions before a weaponized plague is unleashed on five world capitals.
