It is 1612. A French ship carrying the Sultan of Morocco's precious library is seized on the high seas by the Spanish Royal Navy. The manuscripts are taken to the Escorial monastery library where they remain despite repeated requests over the centuries for their return to Morocco.
In 2018 two Moroccan diplomats in Madrid form a plan to finally win the return of the manuscripts. When a Codex goes missing from the library, word spreads. Who took it? Two men die. Were they the thieves? Who is prepared to kill in order to retrieve the manuscript?
The diplomats stage a publicity stunt in the Acropolis Museum, Athens, in front of the Parthenon statues. But who has the codex now? They return to Morocco and, sure of the killer's identity, they lure him to Marrakech. Will they succeed in pressuring the Spanish Government into returning the manuscripts to Morocco? Will the killer be unmasked?
Commissaire Pierre Rousseau and his team follow the action but find themselves unable to influence events.Also from
