ABOUT
THE BOOK

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. Near the body, police have found a baffling cipher. As Langdon and a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, sort through the bizarre riddles, they are stunned to discover a trail of clues hidden in the works of Da Vinci – clues visible for all to see – 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, London, and beyond, Langdon and Neveu match wits with a faceless powerbroker who appears to anticipate their every move. Unless they can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle in time, the Priory’s secret — and an explosive ancient truth — will be lost forever.
