With a relentless female assassin trailing them through Florence, he and his resourceful doctor, Sienna Brooks, are forced to flee.

Dan Brown has raised the bar yet again, combining classical Italian art, history, and literature with cutting-edge science in this captivating thriller.
I must admit that I found myself enjoying this book! It had the traditional Dan Brown formula, but the themes were thought provoking, and it actually made me ask myself deep moral questions, and on which side I would stand were I faced with the decisions the characters faced.
