Langdon joins forces with Sophie Neveu, a brilliant police cryptographer, to solve the puzzle, and they are dumbfounded when the first clues lead them to Leonardo da Vincis work. They also learn that Sauni re belonged to the Priory of Sion, a clandestine society protecting a thousand-year-old secret, with former members including Newton, Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci and Victor Hugo. Our protagonists investigation leads them across France and the United Kingdom, not just to uncover a long-hidden truth about Christianity, but also to flee those who want to possess the secret themselves.
