The Da Vinci Code

A Mind-Bending Code Hidden In The Works Of Leonardo Da Vinci.  A Desperate Race Through The Cathedrals and Castles of Europe.   An Astonishing Truth Concealed For Centuries...Unveiled At Last. 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, a baffling cipher found near the body. As Langdon and a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, sort through the bizarre riddles, they are stunned to discover a trail of clues hidden in the works of Da Vinci---clues visible for all to see and yet ingeniously disguised by the painter.  The stakes are raised when Langdon uncovers a startling link: 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. Langdon suspects they are on the hunt for a breathtaking historical secret, one that has proven through the centuries to be as enlightening as it is dangerous. In a frantic race through Paris, and beyond, Langdon and Neveu find themselves matching wits with a faceless powerbroker. Unless they can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle, the Priory's secret---and an explosive ancient truth---will be lost forever.  This used book is in very good condition.
