While in Paris on business, Harvard
symbologist Robert Langdon receives an urgent late-night phone call. The
elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum, a
baffling cipher found near the body. As Langdon and gifted French
cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, sort through the bizarre riddle, they are
stunned to discover a trail of clues hidden in the works of Da Vinci -
clues visible for all to see and yet ingeniously disguised by the
painter.
The stakes are raised when Langdon uncovers a startling link: the late
curator was involved in the Priory of Sion - an actual secret society
whose members included Sir Isaac Newton, Botticelli, Victor Hugo, and Da
Vinci, among others. Langdon suspects they are on the hunt for a
breathtaking historical secret, one that has proven through the
centuries to be as enlightening as it is dangerous. In a frantic race
through Paris, and beyond, Langdon and Neveu find themselves matching
wits with a faceless powerbroker who appears to anticipate their every
move. Unless they can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle, the Priory's
secret - and an explosive ancient truth -will be lost forever.
