The Codex, by Douglas Preston
When dying billionaire Max Broadbent buries himself and a priceless codex of ancient medical cures in an unknown tomb in Honduras and challenges his sons to find it, the race begins. Their competitive efforts soon meld into one as the brothers rush to beat Max’s ruthless ex-partner to the treasure in action adventure THE CODEX. Braving jaguars, illness, and machine-gun fire as they slash through the jungle, encountering family secrets along the way, Philip develops courage, Vernon achieves mental clarity, and Tom finds romantic love. Above all, the brothers discover that family unity is far more valuable than monetary treasures.
