Synopsis
Robert Langdon, Harvard Professor of symbology, receives an urgent late-night call
while in Paris: the curator of the Louvre has been murdered. Alongside the body is
a series of baffling ciphers. Langdon and a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie
Neveu, are stunned to find a trail that leads to the works of Da Vinci - and
further. The curator, part of a secret society named the Priory of Sion, may have
sacrificed his life to keep secret the location of a vastly important religious
relic hidden for centuries. It appears that the clandestine Vatican-sanctioned
Catholic sect Opus Dei has now made its move. Unless Landon and Neveu can decipher
the labyrinthine code and quickly assemble the pieces of the puzzle, the Priory's
secret - and a stunning historical truth - will be lost forever.
My Opinion
The most popular adult fiction (removes the children class, noteably "Harry Potter"
mania) book of the modern age. Another great read, very contraversial in Christian
circles and has been the center of courts and heavily publicised. Excellent plot
with plenty for any fan of thrillers. This is a fantastic book, one of the most
gripping and enlightening I have ever read! The story is fast pace and totally
intriguing. I couldn’t put it down once I had started.
