An ingenious code hidden in the works of Leonardo da Vinci. A desperate race through the cathedrals and castles of Europe. An astonishing truth concealed for centuries… unveiled at last.
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 … baffling symbols. 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.

Great twist on historical events.
One of the very best books I have read
All time favorite.
Good fiction book…just remember it is fiction
Not an easy read but a great book. Would definitely recommend reading
I thought the book was far better than the movie and have since read several other books by Dan Brown.
Written well and creative!
Fabulous!
Well written, excellent story!!
This one got me started, but the whole series is wonderful. They conger up all kinds of conspiracy theories.
Great imagination.
This is the book that spawned a genre. Get out your tin foil hats…
Excellent book written by one of the top authors in the world.

I only read this one because of all the hype about how great it was. It was entertaining but not really my cup of tea. I don’t usually read books of this genre.
A Wonderful book. Would recommend that anyone read it if they get the chance.
One of the most exciting books I’ve ever read. Couldn’t put it down. No need to go into the story’s details, just read it! You’ll thank me. Great, great book and very original with fantastic characters and incredible twists at every turn!
When I read this book, I couldn’t put it down, I ended reading it in one day (up until 3 AM)….awesome book (best of the Dan Brown books).
Don’t waste your time. Turgid, uninformed and inaccurate. That wasn’t too subtle for you was it?
Top notch reading. Dan Brown has that knack for telling the story and telling the facts without boring you.
