By Dan Brown
Accompanying celebrated academic Katherine Solomon to a lecture she has been invited to give in Prague, Robert Langdon’s world spirals out of control.
Katherine vanishes without a trace from their hotel room. Far from home and well out of his comfort zone, Langdon must pit his wits against unknown forces to recover the woman he loves. But Prague is an old and dangerous city, steeped in folklore and mystery.
Navigating a shadow city hiding in plain sight
For over two thousand years, the tides of history have washed back and forth across it. Each wave of history left behind echoes of everything that came before. Little does Langdon know that a spectre from that dark past stalks him. He must use all of his arcane knowledge to decipher the world around him before he too is consumed by rings of treachery and deception that swallowed Katherine.
Against a backdrop of vast castles, towering churches and graveyards buried twelve deep, Langdon faces another challenge. Labyrinthine underground passages stretch beneath the city. He must navigate a shadow city hiding in plain sight. Prague has kept its secrets for centuries and will not surrender them easily. This is a battlefield unlike any he has previously experienced. On this ground, he must fight not only for his life but also for the future of humanity itself.
The Secret Of Secrets is Dan Brown’s first novel in more than eight years. It marks the stunning return of Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon. This time, he faces a conspiracy that will test even his considerable brainpower. The struggle will take him to the edge of losing all that he holds dear.
