                                  PBS‘s The Great American Read.   This novel became  renowned  for its mind boggling  riddles and
                                  clues hidden in the works of Leonardo Da Vinci and supposedly connected to another secret society,
            — Walt Disney         the Priory of Sion. While in Paris, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is awakened by a phone call
                                  in the dead of the night. The elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum, his

                                  tling, the late curator was involved in the Priory of Sion—a secret society whose members included Sir
                                  Isaac Newton, Victor Hugo, and Da Vinci—and he guarded a  breathtaking historical secret. Unless
                                  Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle—while avoiding the faceless adversary who
                                  shadows their every move—the explosive, ancient truth will be lost forever.

                                  The clandestine world of the Masons is featured in "The Lost Symbol," set within the hidden chambers
                                  and tunnels in Washington D.C. Famed Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon answers an unexpected
                                  summons to appear at the U.S. Capitol Building. His plans are interrupted when a disturbing object—
                                  artfully encoded with five symbols—is discovered in the building. Langdon recognizes in the find an
                                  ancient invitation into a lost world of esoteric, potentially dangerous wisdom. When his mentor Peter
                                  Solomon—a long-standing Mason and beloved philanthropist—is kidnapped, Langdon realizes that the
                                  only way to save Solomon is to accept the mystical invitation and plunge headlong into a clandestine
                                  world of Masonic secrets, hidden history, and one inconceivable truth . . . all under the watchful eye of
                                  Dan Brown‘s most terrifying villain to date.
