WHAT WAS LOST WILL BE FOUND…
Washington DC: Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned at the
last minute to deliver an evening lecture in the Capitol Building.
Within moments of his arrival, however, a disturbing object –
gruesomely encoded with five symbols – is discovered at the epicentre
of the Rotunda. It is, he recognises, an ancient invitation, meant to
beckon its recipient towards a long-lost world of hidden esoteric
wisdom.
When Langdon’s revered mentor, Peter Solomon – philanthropist and
prominent mason – is brutally kidnapped, Langdon realizes that his only
hope of saving his friend’s life is to accept this mysterious summons
and follow wherever it leads him.
Langdon finds himself quickly swept behind the facade of America’s most
historic city into the unseen chambers, temples and tunnels which exist
there. All that was familiar is transformed into a shadowy, clandestine
world of an artfully concealed past in which Masonic secrets and
never-before-seen revelations seem to be leading him to a single
impossible and inconceivable truth.
A brilliantly composed tapestry of veiled histories, arcane icons and
enigmatic codes, The Lost Symbol is an intelligent, lightning-paced
thriller that offers surprises at every turn. For, as Robert Langdon
will discover, there is nothing more extraordinary or shocking than the
secret which hides in plain sight…

Reading this book makes me want to attend one of Langdon's courses on Symbols!! Very good read that makes you want to learn more/understand more.

OK, so you are not the literary fiction type. You are more P.D. James than James Joyce, Michael Connelly than Michel Houellebecq.
No problems. Look no further than here for the books that are going to be everywhere, and I mean everywhere, this month - starting with Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol in paperback at last.
