Harvard’s action-hero symbologist Robert Langdon, is back and this time with a new mystery to solve wrapped up with the mysterious Freemasons.

Langdon receives an urgent invitation to speak in the Capitol building in Washington, which seems to have come from his friend Peter Solomon, a man with Masonic connections. But when he arrives in Washington, Langdon realises he’s been tricked – Solomon has been kidnapped and his friend’s severed hand is found in the Capitol pointing to a portrait George Washington depicted as a pagan deity.

With a path of macabre mutilations left behind, Langdon finds himself on another quest to discover who is behind it. Mal’akh, a tattooed bruiser of a eunuch is seeking a Masonic Pyramid that possesses great supernatural power and becomes Langdon’s nemesis. Langdon finds himself on a race against time and the C.I.A.

This is the paperback version of The Lost Symbol.
