Antes de morir asesinado, Jacques Sauniére, el último Gran Maestre de una sociedad secreta que se remonta más allá del origen de los Templarios –la orden militar compuesta por monjes-soldados fundada en Jerusalén en el año 1119–, transmite a su nieta Sofía un misterioso mensaje en clave. Sauniére al igual que todos los miembros de la sociedad secreta Priorato de Sión (entre los que podemos encontrar ilustres nombres de nuestra historia como Isaac Newton o Leonardo Da Vinci), han custodiado durante siglos un secreto de gran envergadura, relacionado directamente con el Santo Grial, capaz de cambiar completamente la historia de la humanidad. Ahora Sofía, con la ayuda del experto en simbología Robert Langdon, comienzan la búsqueda de ese oculto misterio, una trepidante carrera que les lleva de una clave a otra, descifrando mensajes ocultos en los más famosos cuadros del genial pintor Leonardo Da Vinci y en las paredes, bóvedas, esculturas y claustros de antiguas catedrales de Francia, Inglaterra y Escocia. Paralelamente, una poderosa e influyente organización católica, el Opus Dei, está dispuesta a emplear todos los medios para evitar que el verdadero secreto del Santo Grial salga a la luz. Su objetivo se centrará en enterrar para siempre la verdadera historia sobre la vida de Cristo y María Magdalena. De lo contrario, la base en la que se fundamenta la Iglesia Católica, podría verse seriamente comprometida. Un rompecabezas que tanto Sofía como Robert Langdon irán resolviendo, conscientes que no están solos en este peligroso juego donde incluso sus vidas corren un constante peligro. Feliz Lectura

A new novel by the winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize for Literature offers a narrative centering on human perplexity when faced with one of the unavoidable realities of existence–death–when, in an unnamed country, death ceases its unflagging track and people stop dying and where a brief period of euphoria is followed by despair and chaos as people search for ways to trick death into killing them. When lives in an unnamed country stop ending in death, initial joy soon turns to social chaos in a population that will continue aging forever, standing in the way of later generations, as those in power plot to take advantage.
