First, let me say that your code breaking skills seem to be very good. Don't give up just yet. Probably the most satisfaction that comes from solving a code is by completing it without any assistance.

Thoughts:
I don't believe that 'AN' means to separate the code into sets of 2. Reasoning: there are morse letters with 1 and 3 characters being used 'C', 'CDC'.

A quick examination of the letters given from Morse translation certainly lends itself to some other interpretation. Reasoning: The presence of a 'Q' without 'U'.

Is there a context of the book that can be used to show the purpose of these letters? Perhaps another decryption needs to be applied, such as a Caesar(rotation) or Vigenere.

In 2 other parts of the book the morse decryption worked. Here are the 2 messages.

"RURDE2RMBL"

"MYOPITEWEAKDEATHWSTOMELIKEUNWILNGSLEP"

are you ready to rumble

my opiate weak death was to me like unwilling sleep

So the author likes play on words. Having to sound out letters to get to the words.

The translation of Part 1 could be correct but what does code an mean?

Codeine? It's an opiate so it fits with your other deductions.
