Synopsis

Robert Langdon travels to Prague to attend a groundbreaking lecture by his partner, noetic scientist Katherine Solomon, who is on the verge of publishing a book with startling claims about the nature of human consciousness. A brutal murder throws the evening into chaos, and Katherine vanishes along with her manuscript.

Hunted through Prague's streets by a chilling assailant who styles himself after the Golem of Jewish folklore, Langdon follows the trail into London and New York. He uncovers a secretive organization built around a clandestine underground facility, run by a former CIA operative, and must weigh cutting-edge science against centuries-old mysticism to find Katherine before her discovery is buried or misused.

The sixth Robert Langdon novel returns to Brown's familiar formula — an overnight chase through real cities, coded symbolism, and a collision between ancient belief and modern science — this time centered on the frontiers of consciousness research.
