Code for a best seller

The Da Vinci Code has sold millions of copies around the world - and one Coventry author has penned a book with links to the bestseller. Former teacher Maxwell Field, aged 55, of Stoney Road, Cheylesmore, has just had his first book, The Carthusian Connection, published after 10 years of research. It goes back to the days of Mary Magdalene and early Christianity - similar to the period covered in Da Vinci Code, by Dan Brown. His novel has proved a phenomenon, selling millions of copies worldwide and topping the bestseller lists for weeks. The book is now being made into a Hollywood film starring Tom Hanks. [More]
