"FANS OF THE DA VINCI CODE REJOICE!

LANGDON IS AGAIN SOLVING THE MYSTERIES OF THE UNIVERSE."

—People

Robert Langdon, Harvard professor of symbology, arrives at the ultramodern Guggenheim Museum Bilbao to attend the unveiling of a discovery that "will change the face of science forever." The evening's host is Edmond Kirsch, a forty-year-old billionaire and futurist, and one of Langdon's first students.

But the meticulously orchestrated evening suddenly erupts into chaos, and Kirsch's precious discovery teeters on the brink of being lost. Facing an imminent threat, Langdon is forced to flee in the company of Ambra Vidal. the elegant museum director. They travel to Barcelona on a perilous quest to locate a cryptic password that will unlock Kirsch's secret.

Navigating the dark corridors of hidden history and extreme religion, Langdon and Vidal must evade an enemy whose all-knowing power seems to emanate from Spain's Royal Palace.

They uncover clues that ultimately bring them face-to-face with Kirsch's shocking discovery ... and the breathtaking truth that has long eluded us.

"A BRISK NEW THRILLER. ... LIABLE TO STIR UP AS MUCH CONTROVERSY AS THE DA VINCI CODE DID."
