The Code of the Vavasors by Jonathan Pinnock follows Tom Winscombe and his ex-girlfriend Dorothy Chan as they embark on an intriguing mission to crack a mysterious code.

Their search leads them to a secretive mathematical retreat at a country house. Amidst their investigation, various members of the party fall victim to a succession of bizarre and fatal accidents. Will Tom and Dorothy succeed in their missionβ€”and escape with their lives?

Join Tom and a cast of disreputable and downright dangerous characters in this witty thriller set in a murky world of murder, mystery, and complex equations.
