Synopsis
A sequel to ANGELS & DEMONS, THE DA VINCI CODE starts off with a bang and doesn't quit, leaving the reader gasping to keep up with the twists and turns of this amazingly popular academic thriller. The naked, spread-eagled corpse of a senior curator is found in the Louvre's Grand Gallery, next to a mysterious message written in his blood. The discovery and the subsequent investigation plunge Harvard professor Robert Langdon into the heart of a centuries-old religious conspiracy. Assisted by the brilliant and beautiful Sophie Neveu, a French police cryptologist who also happens to be the curator's granddaughter, Langdon races to gather clues about an ancient goddess-worshipping cult--purportedly once led by Da Vinci himself--whose members hold the key to one of the most sacred legendary objects, the Holy Grail. Meanwhile, the couple must dodge both the police, who believe Langdon guilty of the curator's murder, and an albino assassin from an extremist Catholic sect who is desperate to prevent Langdon and Neveu from uncovering a secret that could rock Christianity to its very foundations. THE DA VINCI CODE is a blockbuster bestseller that has gained legions of fans around the globe; the extremely obsessed can even take a special tour in Paris that points out all the key locations in the storyline. The book also has many detractors who say they have found significant flaws in the religious and historical research upon which it is based. The debate reached such a fever pitch that the Vatican even appointed a Cardinal responsible for refuting the book's claims. The controversy has only increased the book's popularity, producing a whole host of imitators as well as several books and videos purporting either to further explicate or to poke holes in the THE DA VINCI CODE's plot and historical background.

Publisher's Note
While in Paris on business, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon receives an urgent late-night phone call: the elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum. Near the body, police have found a baffling cipher. While working to solve the enigmatic riddle, Langdon is stunned to discover it leads to a trail of clues hidden in the works of Da Vinci -- clues visible for all to see -- yet ingeniously disguised by the painter.

Langdon joins forces with a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, and learns the late curator was involved in the Priory of Sion -- an actual secret society whose members included Sir Isaac Newton, Botticelli, Victor Hugo, and Da Vinci, among others.

In a breathless race through Paris, London, and beyond, Langdon and Neveu match wits with a faceless powerbroker who seems to anticipate their every move. Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle in time, the Priory's ancient secret -- and an explosive historical truth -- will be lost forever.

THE DA VINCI CODE heralds the arrival of a new breed of lightning-paced, intelligent thriller…utterly unpredictable right up to its stunning conclusion.

Industry reviews
"In this gleefully erudite suspense novel, Mr. Brown takes the format he has been developing through three earlier novels and fine-tunes it to blockbuster perfection."
 (03/17/2003)

"Dan Brown's novel is an ingenious mixture of paranoid thriller, art history lesson, chase story, religious symbology lecture and anti-clerical screed, and it's the most fun you can have between the sort of covers that aren't 300-count Egyptian cotton."
 (03/27/2003)

"[I]f this novel doesn't get your pulse racing, you need to check your meds."
 (11/16/2003)

FEEDBACK:

It is apparent that eBay's change to their Feedback system has had a major impact on both the way buyers and sellers leave feedback, as well as the affect of the DSRs on how a seller is rated. EBay is sending mixed information to buyers and sellers regarding the star system. Buyers are told that a "4" star rating in a category is a good rating, while sellers are given lower than standard treatment if their star ratings (at least on shipping charges) fall below a 4.6.  Additionally, Sellers whose 30-day ratings have dropped below a 4.3 in any of the categories will be suspended from selling until their ratings increase to above 4.3.  For low-volume sellers, it would only take a small fraction of well-meant "4" ratings to suspend a seller that the buyers thought were good.

The items that I sell are described in detail, I keep you informed and up-to-date.  I pack carefully and ship quickly.  I do not abuse or make money on shipping. So Please note how safely the item is received and how well protected and packaged it is.   I am open and will communicate with you quickly to resolve ANY problems that may arise throughout our transaction.

Your Feedback is important to me.  I do not consider our transaction complete until I have heard from you. I do strive to provide 5 Star Service, in all areas, and respectfully request this rating from you.  

I appreciate your business and I want to continue to be the best seller I can be, for YOU!

Have a Wonderful Day!
