“‘Illuminati,’ he stammered, his heart pounding. It can’t be…”

Robert Langdon, a professor of religious iconology at Harvard University teams up with Vittoria Vetra, an Italian scientist to solve the gruesome murder of her father, a world-renowned scientist. The dead man’s chest is scorched with an ambigram identified as the symbol of a fraternity presumed extinct for over 400 years and now back to resume its feud against its sworn enemy- the catholic church.

The story unwraps in about 24 hrs travelling through different time zones. As the college of cardinals assemble to elect the new pope, a bomb of petrifying potential hides within the walls of the Vatican threatening the life of every man. Langdon and Vetra are on the search of the callous assassin, killing his victims in unimaginable ways. Deciphering the series of ancient symbols and eminent works of celebrated artists that trail across Rome, the duo reaches the place of only hope for the Vatican - the secret refuge of the Illuminati.

The author gets you bewildered with the untwining plot. He fuses the facts of the world with his own remarkable fancy, finally offering you a book just to find yourself turning the pages ceaselessly.

The book is easy for the beginners and specially to make them fall in love with reading.

It’s a definite recommendation to all those who love thriller, mystery, suspense and also who are interested or will love to know about few of the many great artists, sculptors, scientists and their exceptional contribution to the world.

If you are a beginner and love thrills, this book is definitely for you!
