In this gripping, high-stakes mystery, Dr. Evelyn Carter, a historian at the State Library of NSW, stumbles upon a centuries-old manuscript that holds the key to a long-lost treasure.

Someone powerful is willing to kill to ensure the secret remains buried. Teaming up with investigative journalist Daniel Hayes, Evelyn follows a dangerous trail through the Great Ocean Road, Flinders Street Station, and beneath the crystal-clear waters of the Great Barrier Reef.
But the treasure she seeks isn't gold-it's an ancient artifact of immense cultural significance, one that could rewrite history. As the final showdown looms against a ruthless adversary, Evelyn must make an impossible choice: expose the truth or protect the artifact from falling into the wrong hands.
The Buried Codex is a fast-paced, action-packed thriller that weaves history, intrigue, and suspense into a breathtaking adventure. Will Evelyn unravel the mystery in time, or will the truth be lost forever?
