Dan Brown’s enthralling The Da Vinci Code spans two thousand years of Western history and examines such timeless enigmas as Mona Lisa’s smile and the secret of the Holy Grail. Robert Langdon (a character in other Brown novels) investigates the late-night murder of Jacques Saunière, the brilliant and influential seventy-six-year-old curator of the Louvre museum. The police find the body of the older distinguished gentleman in close proximity to Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa and surrounded by gruesome ciphers.
