The Index Zero Codex

A Seven-Book Art-History Thriller Series

One mark. Seven books. A truth that someone has spent centuries erasing.

When the archivist Pieter de Waal is murdered beside an Amsterdam canal, he leaves behind a printout of Rembrandt's Night Watch and three words in red pencil: NOT THE PAINTING. Dr. Miles Warden follows the trail to six medieval leaves that vanished more than three hundred years ago, each marked with a circle crossed by a vertical stroke. With restorer Elena Ricci and Detective Eva Smit beside him, Miles learns that the mark belongs to the Witnesses, ordinary people who saw something important and made sure it was recorded. Someone is hunting every one of them.

Across seven novels (The Rembrandt Witness, The Caravaggio Absolution, The Barnabas Heresy, The False Testament, The Robison Papers, The Baptist's Gospel and The Blackfriars Confession), the trail runs from the canals of Amsterdam to Malta, a monastery on the coast, a papal palace in Avignon, the libraries of London and the River Jordan. Every book opens with a murder, a famous work of art and a document that someone wants to disappear. And behind it all stands an archive known only as Index Zero.

A cinematic thriller of art, faith, forgery and conspiracy. A story of what people hide, what they are paid to believe, and the price of telling the truth.

Seven books. One mark. And the question Dr. Warden must finally answer: who decides what the world is allowed to remember?

About

J. Moravia

J. Moravia writes novels about greed, technology, artificial intelligence, and the human psyche — the ways people justify what they do, and what they become once the justification runs out. The catalog ranges from grounded, character-driven standalones to multi-book series: a conspiracy hidden inside four centuries of European art, a near-future where attention and thought are mined like ore, and modern retellings of the classics that made the case for ambition and revenge in the first place.
