Within moments of his arrival, however, a disturbing object - gruesomely encoded with five symbols - is discovered at the epicentre of the Rotunda. It is, he recognises, an ancient invitation, meant to beckon its recipient towards a long-lost world of hidden esoteric wisdom.\n\nWhen Langdon\u0026#39;s revered mentor, Peter Solomon - philanthropist and prominent mason - is brutally kidnapped, Langdon realizes that his only hope of saving his friend\u0026#39;s life is to accept this mysterious summons and follow wherever it leads him.\n\nLangdon finds himself quickly swept behind the facade of America\u0026#39;s most historic city into the unseen chambers, temples and tunnels which exist there. All that was familiar is transformed into a shadowy, clandestine world of an artfully concealed past in which Masonic secrets and never-before-seen revelations seem to be leading him to a single impossible and inconceivable truth.\n\nA brilliantly composed tapestry of veiled histories, arcane icons and enigmatic codes, The Lost Symbol is an intelligent, lightning-paced thriller that offers surprises at every turn. For, as Robert Langdon will discover, there is nothing more extraordinary or shocking than the secret which hides in plain sight...","author_name":"Dan Brown","author_url":"https://hardcover.app/authors/dan-brown","thumbnail_url":"https://assets.hardcover.app/editions/12712925/3110651410659800.jpg","thumbnail_width":314,"thumbnail_height":475}
