Robert Langdon, izvedenec za simboliko s Harvarda, je na službenem obisku v Parizu. Sredi noči v hotelu zazvoni telefon. Policija ga kliče v Louvre, kjer je bil umorjen kurator. Poleg trupla so našli skrivnostno simbolno šifro. Langdon in mlada francoska kriptologinja rešujeta uganko za uganko in se znajdeta na sledi šifer, ki nezmotljivo kažejo na starodavni, skrivnostni red sionskih modrecev ter legendo o svetem gralu.
Srhljiva kriminalka ameriškega pisatelja Dana Browna o največji prevari v zgodovini krščanskega sveta je ena največjih svetovnih uspešnic zadnjih let. Prevedena je bila že v več kot 44 jezikov, po njej pa so posneli tudi film. Svet se deli na tiste, ki so jo prebrali - in tiste, ki jim že zmanjkuje izgovorov, zakaj je niso ...
Zapleten, inteligentno zastavljen triler, tematika eklektična (od zgodovine krščanstva do sodobne znanosti, iskanje in skrivanje svetega grala), slog pripovedi zelo sodoben, hiter, napet, kot bi združila moči Umberto Eco in Michael Crichton.
Skrivnostna šifra, skrita v delih Leonarda da Vincija.
Neusmiljena dirka skozi katedrale in dvorce stare celine.
Osupljiva resnica, skrbno varovana dolga stoletja … končno razkrita!
Napeta kriminalka z vratolomno hitro zgodbo in fantastično mešanico zgodovinskih dejstev in fikcije. Uspešnica !! Na vrhu top lestvic.

"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."
- Janet Maslin, THE NEW YORK TIMES
"A new master of smart thrills. A pulse-quickening, brain-teasing adventure."
- PEOPLE MAGAZINE
"This is pure genius. Dan Brown has to be one of the best, smartest, and most accomplished writers in the country."
- NELSON DEMILLE
"Thriller writing doesn't get any better than this."
- DENVER POST
"This masterpiece should be mandatory reading. Brown solidifies his reputation as one of the most skilled thriller writers on the planet with his best book yet, a compelling blend of history and page-turning suspense. Highly recommended."
- LIBRARY JOURNAL
"Exceedingly clever. Both fascinating and fun...a considerable achievement."
- WASHINGTON POST
"A heart-racing thriller. This story has so many twists -- all satisfying, most unexpected -- that it would be a sin to reveal too much of the plot in advance. Let's just say that if this novel doesn't get your pulse racing, you need to check your meds."
- SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
"A thundering, tantalizing, extremely smart fun ride. Brown doesn't slow down his tremendously powerful narrative engine despite transmitting several doctorates' worth of fascinating history and learned speculation, "The Da Vinci Code" is brain candy of the highest quality -- which is a reviewer's code meaning, ''Put this on top of your pile.''
- CHICAGO TRIBUNE
"One hell of a read. A gripping mix of murder and myth."
- NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
