author of The Da Vinci Code.
‘Fans will not be disappointed’ The Times
Robert Langdon, Harvard professor of symbology and religious iconology,
arrives at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao to attend the unveiling of an
astonishing scientific breakthrough. The evening's host is billionaire Edmond
Kirsch, a futurist whose dazzling high-tech inventions and audacious predictions
have made him a controversial figure around the world.
But Langdon and several hundred guests are left reeling when the meticulously
orchestrated evening is suddenly blown apart. There is a real danger that
Kirsch's precious discovery may be lost in the ensuing chaos. With his life
under threat, Langdon is forced into a desperate bid to escape Bilbao, taking
with him the museum's director, Ambra Vidal. Together they flee to Barcelona on
a perilous quest to locate a cryptic password that will unlock
Kirsch's secret.
To evade a devious enemy who is one step ahead of them at every turn, Langdon
and Vidal must navigate the labyrinthine passageways of extreme religion and
hidden history. On a trail marked only by enigmatic symbols and elusive modern
art, Langdon and Vidal will come face-to-face with a breathtaking truth that has
remained buried – until now.
