'Seek and ye shall find.'
Florence: Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon awakes in a hospital bed with no recollection of where he is or how he got there. Nor can he explain the origin of the macabre object that is found hidden in his belongings.
A threat to his life will propel him and a young doctor, Sienna Brooks, into a breakneck chase across the city. Only Langdon's knowledge of the hidden passageways and ancient secrets that lie behind its historic façade can save them from the clutches of their unknown pursuers.
With only a few lines from Dante's Inferno to guide them, they must decipher a sequence of codes buried deep within some of the Renaissance's most celebrated artworks to find the answers to a puzzle which may, or may not, help them save the world from a terrifying threat . . .
Content warning The Plot
If I had a nickel for every time I consumed media about a virus which makes part of the human population sterile to save the world, I'd have two nickels. Watch the show Utopia. It's on Amazon Prime. Don't watch the third season because it's a bad reboot.
A fast paced mystery through the streets of Italy. Dan Brown is a writer who knows how to keep up suspense and weave strands of ancient religious elements into the tapestry of his stories. Not a masterpiece but an enjoyable thriller.
