The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown
Fascinating and absorbing reading combining conspiracy, history, murder and code breaking puzzles.
A mystery that challenges our intelligence and has so many twists and turns to keep the reader turning the pages.
One of the most widely read novels of all time, the Da Vinci Code provoked a great deal of criticism and controversy among, in particular, the Roman Catholic Church.
Dan Brown's revelations on Da Vinci's hidden codes in his famous paintings of The Mona Lisa and The Madonna of the Rocks has inspired some art experts to investigate further. The Last Supper holds the most astonishing coded secrets of all and you will never see this painting in quite the same way again.

Renowned curator Jacques Saunière staggered through the vaulted archway of the museum's Grand Gallery. He lunged for the nearest painting he could see, a Caravaggio. Grabbing the gilded frame, the seventy-six-year-old man heaved the masterpiece toward himself until it tore from the wall and Saunière collapsed backward in a heap beneath the canvas.
As he had anticipated, a thundering iron gate fell nearby, barricading the entrance to the suite. The parquet floor shook. Far off, an alarm began to ring.
The curator lay a moment, gasping for breath, taking stock. I am still alive. He crawled out from under the canvas and scanned the cavernous space for someplace to hide. A voice spoke, chillingly close. "Do not move." On his hands and knees, the curator froze, turning his head slowly ...
So grab this thriller, relax, and prepare to be entertained and educated. It's well-written, it's intelligent, and best of all, it's fun.
