{"product_id":"the-stavros-manuscript","title":"The Stavros Manuscript","description":"A man hopelessly obsessed with finding the key to an indecipherable 700-year-old manuscript descends into a ghostly world of madness.\n\n\"Wholly mesmerizing . . . A wonderfully strange and engrossing thriller.\"\n–Kirkus Reviews\n\n\"Fast-paced and deeply cerebral . . . Wheeler's writing is adept and entrancing.\"\n–Independent Book Review\n\nLeonard Stavros claims to speak virtually every language on Earth. He also claims to be a former intelligence agent who specialized in cracking complex codes and ciphers. But then, Leonard is psychotic, his madness fueled by an all-consuming obsession with a 700-year-old book written in what may be the most diabolical cipher ever devised. A cipher Leonard cannot crack, and which torments him with relentless, merciless cackling.\n\nYet even as he fights to escape the book's stranglehold, Leonard meets a beautiful young woman with her own strange fixation. A woman he feels he has met before. Perhaps, he thinks, in a dream. But a woman, nonetheless, who knows Leonard better than he knows himself—and who, it seems, may be his last hope for salvation.\n\nFrom the author of the award-winning The Things of Man comes a story of arrogance, loss, and a desperate struggle for redemption.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0CL9M7N4Y\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.B0CL9M7N4Y.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Wheeler, Vince\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in very good condition.
