This 454 page thriller is an absolute pleasure. Robert Langdon, an American symbologist, and Sophie Neveu, a French cryptologist, meet in the Louvre at the scene where her curator grandfather has been murdered. Suspected by the police, they escape and, using their unique skills to decipher the gruesome clues he has left, turn detective to try to find not only his murderer but the much sought after secret which led to his death. Brilliant.
