THE LOST SYMBOL

Hey friends....
Welcome again the history+mystery writer, Dan Brown's latest release....THE LOST SYMBOL...which deals with same codes and symbols and THE HOLY GRAIL....but in a more exciting manner !! So people...fasten your seat belts because there is a new code to be cracked here....haha..!! And so it is.....it has been also rated as the fastest selling novel ever in its 1st week of release itself...
The story takes place in Washington D.C. where Robert Langdon is giving a lecture in US Capitol invited by Peter Solomon who is the head of Smithsonian institution and a mentor of Robert too and Mason of Scottish Rite.
When Langdon arrives at the Capitol, however, instead of an audience for his lecture, and after receiving a phone call from the person that he thought was from Solomon's office he hears screams coming from the Capitol Rotunda. Running, he finds the severed right hand of Peter Solomon directly in the middle of the room. The hand contains tattoes on each finger, and Langdon recognizes it as the symbolic 'Hand of the Mysteries', which points directly to the Capitol dome..!!!
Langdon realizes that it is the hand of his kidnapped friend, and from messages already received he knows that the kidnapper wants him to find both the Mason's Pyramid, which Mason's believe is hidden somewhere underground in Washington D.C. and the Mason's "word" which will complete the task that the kidnapper has given. So, Langdon along with Solomon finds clues which leads them to a 'word' which is written in major religious books is symbolic and is helpful in decoding Langdom's puzzle.
It has a lot more excitement ...and is at-par with the other releases of Brown. Congratulations Brown...!!
