---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Harvard professor Robert Langdon receives an urgent late-night phone call while on business in Paris: the elderly curator of the Louvre has been brutally murdered inside the museum. Alongside the body, police have found a series of baffling codes.

As Langdon and a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, begin to sort through the bizarre riddles, they are stunned to find a trail that leads to the works of Leonardo Da Vinci - and suggests the answer to a mystery that stretches deep into the vault of history.

Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine code and quickly assemble the pieces of the puzzle, a stunning historical truth will be lost forever...

Ratings and reviews

Obviously, those who do not like this book tried to look for more than the tale gives out. It's a romp pure and simple, and mixing religious myth and murder is a great recipe I would recommend this book without question, and then suggest to do some research on the subject matter, can't wait for inferno...

Based on the impressive imagination of Dan Brown himself,the book quenches the thirst of inquisitive readers! It is a mind blowing adventure and you would find yourself flabbergasted at every turn of page Dan Brown has done a wonderful job of writing an amazing story that unfolds due the death of the 'Grand Master'! Sophie,the grand daughter of the grand master finds herself with an renown symboligist, Robert Langdon in the conquest of finding the Holy Grail, meeting a myriad of obstacles. Awesome it is!

A gripping storyline! Great narrative, a pulse-quickening adventure. It shines in its exploration of medeival iconography, the early Christian Church & of course, 'the sacred feminine'. The revelations made on Da Vinci's​ penchant for hiding codes in his paintings, make you search out for them, especially the The Last Supper; which, after reading this piece, you would never see the same way again. This masterpiece is a must-read for thrill-seekers.
