In The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown, our favorite symbologist Robert Langdon ("The DaVinci Code") races through Washington D.C. 's underground mazes to stop a madman from getting the ultimate Masonic symbol, and to rescue a dear friend. On the way we learn about noetic science and ancient mysteries. It's a white-hot page turner.
