When Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is called to a Swiss research facility to examine a cryptic symbol burned into a murdered physicist’s chest, he uncovers a shocking truth: the ancient brotherhood known as the Illuminati has returned. Their goal? To unleash a devastating weapon and destroy the Catholic Church.
As the Vatican’s holy conclave begins, Langdon’s fears are confirmed—an Illuminati time bomb is hidden within Vatican City. With only hours to spare, Langdon teams up with Italian scientist Vittoria Vetra to race through crypts, catacombs, and cathedrals, following a 400-year-old trail of symbols that may lead them to the Illuminati’s hidden lair.
The clock is ticking. Can Langdon and Vetra stop the Illuminati’s deadly plan, or will Vatican City be their final victim?
