The Da Vinci Code
Dan Brown, 2003

Dan Brown
Dan Brown's novels move fast through museums, churches and old texts, with a scholar decoding symbols while someone is chasing him. Start with «Angels & Demons» for one tense night in Rome, or «The Da Vinci Code» if you want the Paris and London hunt. Both give you puzzles, travel and a race against a clock.

His books on religious paintings and cult symbology had made him a reluctant celebrity in the art world, and last year Langdon’s visibility had increased a hundred-fold after his involvement in a widely publicized incident at the Vatican.
