Robert Langdon, Harvard Professor of symbology, receives an urgent late-night call while in Paris: the curator of the Louvre has been murdered. Alongside the body is a series of baffling ciphers. Langdon and a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, are stunned to find a trail that leads to the works of Da Vinci – and further.
The curator, part of a secret society named the Priory of Sion, may have sacrificed his life to keep secret the location of a vastly important religious relic hidden for centuries. It appears that the clandestine Vatican-sanctioned Catholic sect Opus Dei has now made its move. Unless Landon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine code and quickly assemble the pieces of the puzzle, the Priory’s secret – and a stunning historical truth – will be lost forever.
Fascinating and absorbing…A great, riveting read. I loved this book.
Harlan Coben
Brown’s novel adroitly blends the chase-stuffed thrillers of Robert Ludlum and the learned romps of Umberto Eco…For anyone who wants more brain food than thrillers normally provide.
Sunday Times
A gripping bestseller…Brown has cracked the bestseller code.
Guardian
Blockbuster perfection…An exhilaratingly brainy thriller. Not since the advent of Harry Potter has an author so flagrantly delighted in leading readers on a breathless chase.
New York Times
Exceedingly clever…Both fascinating and fun…A considerable achievement.
Washington Post
