Synopsis: 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. While working to
solve the enigmatic riddle, Langdon is stunned to discover it leads to
a trail of clues hidden in the works of Da Vinci -- clues visible for
all to see -- yet ingeniously disguised by the painter.
Langdon joins forces with a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu,
and learns 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.
In a breathless race through Paris, London, and beyond, Langdon and
Neveu match wits with a faceless powerbroker who seems to anticipate
their every move. Unless Langdon and Neveu can deipher the labyrinthine
puzzle in time, the Priory's ancient secret -- and an explosive
historical truth -- will be lost forever.
