The evening’s host is billionaire Edmond Kirsch, a futurist whose dazzling high-tech inventions and audacious predictions have made him a controversial figure around the world.

But Langdon and several hundred guests are left reeling when the meticulously orchestrated evening is suddenly blown apart. There is a real danger that Kirsch’s precious discovery may be lost in the ensuing chaos. With his life under threat, Langdon is forced into a desperate bid to escape Bilbao, taking with him the museum’s director, Ambra Vidal. Together they flee to Barcelona on a perilous quest to locate a cryptic password that will unlock Kirsch’s secret.

To evade a devious enemy who is one step ahead of them at every turn, Langdon and Vidal must navigate the labyrinthine passageways of extreme religion and hidden history. On a trail marked only by enigmatic symbols and elusive modern art, Langdon and Vidal will come face-to-face with a breathtaking truth that has remained buried – until now.  aLangdon, Robert (Fictitious character)--Fiction  aCryptographers--Fiction  aHuman beings--Origin--Fiction  aSpain--Fiction  cBK2ddc  c49440d49440  00102ddc4070aMAINbMAINcRN38d2025-12-12e48g322.86l3m2o813.54 BROp38447r2026-10-07 00:00:00s2026-06-09v1198.80w2025-12-12yBKzRecommended by Prof. Priya Narayanan
