"Impossible to put down.... Another mind-blowing Robert Langdon
story." --The New York Times
Famed Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon answers an unexpected summons
to appear at the U.S. Capitol Building. His plans are interrupted when a
disturbing object--artfully encoded with five symbols--is discovered in
the building. Langdon recognizes in the find an ancient invitation into
a lost world of esoteric, potentially dangerous wisdom.
When his mentor Peter Solomon--a long-standing Mason and beloved
philanthropist--is kidnapped, Langdon realizes that the only way to save
Solomon is to accept the mystical invitation and plunge headlong into a
clandestine world of Masonic secrets, hidden history, and one
inconceivable truth ... all under the watchful eye of Dan Brown's most
terrifying villain to date.
