Famed Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon answers an unexpected summons to appear at the U. S. Capitol Building. His plans are interrupted when a disturbing object-artfully encoded with five symbols-is discovered in the building. Langdon recognizes in the find an ancient invitation into a lost world of esoteric, potentially dangerous wisdom.
When his mentor Peter Solomon-a long-standing Mason and beloved philanthropist-is kidnapped, Langdon realizes that the only way to save Solomon is to accept the mystical invitation and plunge headlong into a clandestine world of Masonic secrets, hidden history, and one inconceivable truth . . . all under the watchful eye of Dan Brown's most terrifying villain to date. Set within the hidden chambers, tunnels, and temples of Washington, D. C. , The Lost Symbol is an intelligent, lightning-paced story with surprises at every turn-one of Brown's most riveting novels.
