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.
In 2006, a movie was released starring Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon. Two more of Dan Brown's Langdon series followed, also starring Tom Hanks: Angels & Demons (2009) and Inferno (2016).
