"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.
