Description:
With The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown masterfully concocts an
intelligent and lucid thriller that marries the gusto of an
international murder mystery with a collection of fascinating esoteria
culled from 2,000 years of Western history.
A murder in the silent after-hour halls of the Louvre museum
reveals a sinister plot to uncover a secret that has been protected by
a clandestine society since the days of Christ. The victim is a
high-ranking agent of this ancient society who, in the moments before
his death, manages to leave gruesome clues at the scene that only his
granddaughter, noted cryptographer Sophie Neveu, and Robert Langdon, a
famed symbologist, can untangle. The duo become both suspects and
detectives searching for not only Neveu's grandfather's murderer but
also the stunning secret of the ages he was charged to protect. Mere
steps ahead of the authorities and the deadly competition, the mystery
leads Neveu and Langdon on a breathless flight through France, England,
and history itself. Brown (has created a page-turning thriller that
also provides an amazing interpretation of Western history. Brown's
hero and heroine embark on a lofty and intriguing exploration of some
of Western culture's greatest mysteries--from the nature of the Mona
Lisa's smile to the secret of the Holy Grail. Though some will quibble
with the veracity of Brown's conjectures, therein lies the fun. The Da Vinci Code is an enthralling read that provides rich food for thought.
