Following on from the phenomenally successful The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons, Dan Brown is set to release his next thriller in Spring 2006. The Solomon Key will be set in Washington DC, with the 'secret society' featured being the Freemasons. Unlocking the Solomon Key is an A-Z guide to the novel and features a list of approximately 50 - 60 entries, each with an explanation of their meaning and from where Brown has researched them. With an approximate length of 50,000 words and featuring both black-and-white line drawings and a colour picture section, this book will provide all the answers to the cryptic mysteries in Dan Brown's highly-anticipated new novel. Simon Cox is the author of two other guides to Dan Brown's novels, the bestselling Cracking the Da Vinci Code and Illuminating Angels and Demons, and Unlocking the Solomon Key is hotly-tipped to follow their success. Cracking the Da Vinci Code has now been translated into over fifteen languages, topped the non-fiction charts in five countries and is still gaining foreign translation sales. In the UK, the book entered the WH Smith chart in the top five. So far its sales have reached well in excess of half a million worldwide, and a DVD of the same name had sold one-and-a-half million copies. No wonder, then, that Unlocking the Solomon Key is almost as eagerly awaited as Dan Brown's next novel itself. Simon Cox's guide will be The Solomon Key's essential companion, giving vital background information and shedding new light on the many mysteries at the heart of Dan Brown's new story.
