Book Description:
While in Paris on business, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon receives an urgent late-night phone call: the elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum. Near the body, police have found a baffling cipher. While working to solve the enigmatic riddle, Langdon is stunned to discover it leads to a trail of clues hidden in the works of Da Vinci -- clues visible for all to see -- yet ingeniously disguised by the painter.

Langdon joins forces with a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, and learns the late curator was involved in the Priory of Sion -- an actual secret society whose members included Sir Isaac Newton, Botticelli, Victor Hugo, and Da Vinci, among others.

In a breathless race through Paris, London, and beyond, Langdon and Neveu match wits with a faceless powerbroker who seems to anticipate their every move. Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle in time, the Priory's ancient secret -- and an explosive historical truth -- will be lost forever.

THE DA VINCI CODE heralds the arrival of a new breed of lightning-paced, intelligent thrillerÂ…utterly unpredictable right up to its stunning conclusion.

Abridged: 5 cds, Running Time: 6 hours

I hadn't seen the movie yet, or read the book, when I bought the audio CD for a long trip I was taking. It was a terrific story that had just enough puzzles in it to keep you guessing. I was even surprised at the ending, and didn't exactly see that coming. I'm glad I bought it, and I'd recommend it as an interesting distraction.

I liked listening to this book on a long drive recently. It kept my attention even though I had already seen the movie.
