Illuminati - Dan Brown

Illuminati, by Dan Brown is probably better known to people now as Angels and Demons, his last book before the world famous "The Da vinci Code".

It tells the tale of an attempt by the long though dead group, known as The Illuminati, to vapourise The Vatican with a bomb. But, although this ...

The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown

Langdon was due to have a meeting with the curator at ...
