Angels and Demons

Dan Brown

Harvard symbiologist Robert Langdon is summoned to a Swiss research facility to analyze a mysterious symbol seared into the chest of a murdered physicist. He discovers evidence of the resurgence of an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati, who have surfaced to carry out a deadly vendetta against their most hated enemy, the Catholic Church. Langdon must race against time through the hidden catacombs and secret crypts of Rome to save the Vatican from a ticking time bomb.
