The greatest conspiracy of the past two thousand years is about to unravel.

Robert Langdon, professor of religious symbology at Harvard, is in Paris to give a lecture. At the reception that follows, he is scheduled to meet with a revered curator from the world-famous Louvre museum. But the curator never shows up, and later that night Langdon is awakened by authorities and told that the curator has been found dead. He is then taken to the Louvre—the scene of the crime—where he finds out that baffling clues have been left behind.

Thus begins a race against time, as Robert Langdon becomes a suspect and, with the help of French cryptologist Sophie Neveu, must decipher a mystifying trail of clues that the two come to realize have been left specifically for them. If Robert and Sophie cannot solve the puzzle in time, an ancient truth could be lost forever—and they themselves might end up as collateral damage.

Praise for the adult edition of The Da Vinci Code

“WOW . . . Blockbuster perfection. An exhilaratingly brainy thriller. Not since the advent of Harry Potter has an author so flagrantly delighted in leading readers on a breathless chase and coaxing them through hoops.”—The New York Times

“A new master of smart thrills. A pulse-quickening, brain-teasing adventure.”—People

Critic reviews

"Engrossing, prompting quick turns of the page and readings in one sitting. A satisfying adaptation for teens."--Kirkus Reviews Online

Great with kids in the car

My teens and I are enjoying this audio book. I read it years ago and I'm enjoying listening to it with my kids. They listen and enjoy it plus we get to make predictions as we pause when something major is about to happen. It also helps with the problem of bickering in the car, since they don't have cell phones to text with. It makes for a a well spent family time in the car.

Great for 12 year old boy

We travel a lot and this book kept us wanting to stay in the car. Definitely recommend!

Rebook great. Are.

Awesome book very long but the narrator did an amazing job with the different voices. Very intrigued. Cool message definitely worth your investment.

Fun fiction book

A lot of twists and action, but sometimes hard to comprehend storyline, because fiction is too mingled with history. Not recommended for uneducated readers, because many crucial points are just pure fiction.
