Inferno

Robert Langdon, a Harvard symbology professor, wakes up in a hospital in Italy, bewildered and unable to recall anything from the previous 36 hours, not even the source of the ominous device concealed among his possessions. He and his intrepid physician, Sienna Brooks, are forced to escape Florence as they are being pursued by a determined female assassin. They set off on a terrifying adventure where they must decipher a series of codes created by a brilliant scientist whose preoccupation with the end of the world is equaled only by his love of Dante Alighieri's The Inferno, one of the most significant works of literature ever written.

In this opulently fascinating thriller, Dan Brown has lifted the bar once again by fusing cutting-edge technology with traditional Italian literature, history, and art.
