Publisher Description

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 decipher the labyrinthine puzzle in time, the Priory's ancient secret -- and an explosive historical truth -- will be lost forever. THE DA VINCI CODE heralds the arrival of a new breed of lightning-paced, intelligent thriller…utterly unpredictable right up to its stunning conclusion.

"I cannot express how much I love this book! Unfortunately, I had watched the movie before I read it, but I love them both the same! The characters are amazing, the storyline is amazing, the well thought out research and connecting it all together is just genius! Lots of twists and turns and a gripping plot. I didnt want to finish it because it's just so good, you want to keep reading! 100% recommend it!"

    " The story made for a compelling page-turner and offered enough history and facts to be quite engaging. I was working long hours so I listened faster than normal. My only dislike was the narrator, but he kind of grew on me by the end. Weird. "
