Exeter author Dan Brown?s fourth novel hit the New York Times bestseller list the first week it was out. The DaVinci Code starts with a murder, but that's where any resemblance to a run-of-the-mill thriller ends. Dan brings back Harvard symbolgist Robert Langdon- the protagonist of his previous book- and sets him on a race through the cathedrals and castles of Europe as he follows the clues from a mind-bending code hidden in the works of Leonardo Da Vinci toward an astonishing truth about religion and history that has been hidden for centuries. And it's all true- maybe. Dan talks about the book and his meticulous research.
