The Langdon Codex
R. P. Poe
- Two
- friends,
- one
- white,
- the
- other
- black,
- discover
- a
- solid
- silver
- lock-box
- hidden
- in
- an
- antique
- desk
- and,
- on
- impulse,
- one
- of
- them
- decides
- to
- steal
- it.
- Inside
- is
- a
- sheaf
- of
- papers
- bound
- with
- twine.
- Assuming
- the
- papers
- to
- be
- nothing
- more
- than
- a
- worthless
- diary,
- they
- toss
- them
- aside
- but
- soon
- discover
- their
- mistake.
- The
- manuscript
- is
- in
- fact
- a
- previously
- unknown
- sequel
- to
- Mark
- Twain's
- novel,
- Huckleberry
- Finn.
- When
- the
- box
- is
- stolen,
- the
- men
- set
- out
- to
- find
- it
- and
- redeem
- themselves,
- encountering
- prejudice
- and
- bigotry
- along
- the
- way
- that
- parallels
- Twain's
- story,
- and
- leads
- them
- to
- a
- shocking
- truth
- about
- their
- own
- shared past.
