Robert Langdon, a symbolist from Harvard, is beckoned for a talk at the Capitol Building by his mentor and philanthropist, Peter Solomon. As soon as he arrives, he finds Solomon’s severed hand, left behind by a killer, Mal’akh - a hand that he identifies to be an archaic invitation.
Robert understands that the only way to emancipate his friend is to follow the hints and symbols to where they lead him. As soon as he makes his final decision, he is brushed off far behind the frontispiece. He finds himself amidst America’s hidden history - temples, alcoves, and adits. Everything around him seems to lead him to a single, fantastic, and incomprehensible gospel.
The book, The Lost Symbol, is a heart-pounding thriller that keeps its readers engaged by offering breathtaking surprises on almost every page. It talks about the journey of Robert Langdon, wherein he moves towards ‘The Truth’ - the truth of the symbol that was hidden under a charade of surprises for decades together.
A bestseller that was widely pre-ordered before its release, The Lost Symbol sold 1 million copies on the day of its release (September 15, 2009). A film based on The Lost Symbol is being made and produced by Columbia Pictures. The movie is expected to release in 2012.ISBN - 9780552161237
