The DaVinci Code, by Dan Brown.
This is a very cool book that I found I couldn’t put down, but then I do have a thing for conspiracy theories especially on this subject (I won’t spoil it for you here). It is a very exciting ‘boys own’ type of yarn in a Robert Ludlum for today way. It could be good and fertile background work for all those who run modern RPG scenarios.
‘Harvard professor Robert Langdon receives an urgent late-night phone call while on business in Paris: the elderly curator of the Louvre has been brutally murdered inside the museum.
Alongside the body, police have found a series of baffling codes.
As Langdon and a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, begin to sort through the bizarre riddles, they are stunned to find a trail that leads to the works of Leonardo Da Vinci – and suggests the answer to a mystery that stretches deep into the vaults of history.
Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine code and quickly assemble the pieces of the puzzle, a stunning historical truth will be lost forever…’
PS - I have just read an article in the Sunday papers, where the Brown is being sued by a couple of academic authors for stealing the 'architecture' for this story.
