The Egyptian Codex: A Folashade Benson Mystery (African Mystery Series) Paperback – Large Print, September 9, 2025

An ancient mystery. A modern murder. A race to uncover a truth buried for millennia.Moses demanded freedom before Pharaoh. Plagues fell, the Israelites vanished into legend, and left behind no trace. For centuries, scholars and skeptics alike have sought answers in vain.Two hundred years after the Exodus, the last native Pharaoh of Egypt, Nectanebo II, fled into the shadows of history, carrying with him a sacred codex said to preserve the final secrets of the lost Israelites—and of Egypt itself. Hidden in an unmarked grave and encoded on a shard of pottery, the truth was meant to remain lost.Until now.When Professor Jade dies under bizarre circumstances mirroring ancient Egyptian embalming rites, historian Folashade Benson knows it was no accident. A cryptic message left behind pulls her into a web of riddles, relics, and ruthless enemies. With the reluctant help of disgraced Egyptologist Peter Fergusson, Folashade uncovers a forgotten link between Exodus-era myths, a vanished codex, and a secret society willing to kill to protect it.From the libraries of Pittsburgh to the tombs of Nubia, from shattered ostraca to encrypted scrolls, Folashade must race to solve a mystery 2,000 years in the making—before history’s greatest secret is lost forever.
