Description
#1 WORLDWIDE BESTSELLER • While in Paris, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is awakened by a phone call in the dead of the night. The elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum, his body covered in baffling symbols.
“Blockbuster perfection.... A gleefully erudite suspense novel.” —The New York Times
“A pulse-quickening, brain-teasing adventure.” —People
As Langdon and gifted French cryptologist Sophie Neveu sort through the bizarre riddles, they are stunned to discover a trail of clues hidden in the works of Leonardo da Vinci—clues visible for all to see and yet ingeniously disguised by the painter.
Even more startling, the late curator was involved in the Priory of Sion—a secret society whose members included Sir Isaac Newton, Victor Hugo, and Da Vinci—and he guarded a breathtaking historical secret. Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle—while avoiding the faceless adversary who shadows their every move—the explosive, ancient truth will be lost forever.
Reviews
Boring and tedious
2By AspenWillowThis book was a drag to get through. It took forever to get to the end and not a very interesting plot.The Da Vinci Code
3By music guy 81I wanted to read the book because I saw the movie a lot and wanted to compare the two of them. I think the book is full of detail that the movie doesn’t have.Amazing- thought provoking thriller
5By Ser WilliamMy favorite character of all time.A Good Book to Relax and Enjoy
5By Josey86It’s been a while since I read this book, but I enjoyed it even more this second time than I did the first. It certainly doesn’t hurt that so many people act as if this book came from the theology section instead of the fiction section. A story that gets people’s feathers up because they’re too busy taking themselves far too seriously: what’s not to love?!Woah.🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
5By ed 2346🤪So when I picked up this book I was not prepared for it. I though this would be a mildly interesting mystery read. Not something that blew my mind after every page. Dan continues to confuse and amaze at every twist and turn. What you think will happen and what does happen are so different I was laughing at myself! I love this book and I recommend it for anyone who wants to have their mind blown after every single chapter. Some say this is offensive to their religion but this is a work of fiction and while there are truths and facts hidden through its mostly about a conspiracy theory and shouldn’t hold any weigh unless you allow it to. I loved it. Definitely the greatest mystery I’ve ever read. Than you Dan.shiryu

5By UgibThis novel is very enthralling and mentally stimulating. If you are someone that is open minded and questions the world, then I would read this book. Great plot.Incredible
5By aoca99Incredible book and I absolutely love the seriesChurch and state.
4By Moon-Walking ChefMany references were unknown at first glance, therefore, I was unable to fully understand the metaphorical prose Brown enunciated in his works. As far as character development and the addition of various treasured landmarks, this has been an interesting experience. I’ve yet to finish, but I own the novel. The ability to revisit with a fresher perspective at a later date is somewhat refreshing. The hardback is aesthetically pleasing, in comparison with the digital copy — the value remains the same, though prices differ dramatically.Gripping book, a must read
