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.

Dan Brown writes conspiracy thriller better than anyone.
Incredible read, with clues, that lead to other clues. With tons of information that was researched. You can learn so much from this author. He really puts in the work to make things realistic and believable. Plus edge of your seat, page turning, excitement!
One night I read a selection that caused me to put the book down. I asked myself What do I believe? What do I know? The book is a historical novel that raises pertinent religious questions.
Third time reading and it really just gets better. Love the intrigue, and the interesting way Mr Brown has of drawing you in to Robert Langdon’s world.
Great action packed adventure with interesting and unanticipated twists
An enchanting tale that takes you through a rollercoaster of a journey, from ancient relics to modern databases to search for a truth that has been quested for since the beginning of Time. This is a story about much more than just the Holy Grail, it is the revelation of all that has been hidden from us.
Well written but hard to follow.
It was just an interesting puzzle. A good summer read.
Excellent, but Angels and Demons was better!
