Secrets of the Widow's Son - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

The phenomenon continues. With The Da Vinci Code still breaking records and writing new and unprecedented chapters in the history of publishing, fans of The Da Vinci Code are abuzz with speculation about the forthcoming sequel, The Solomon Key.

Secrets of the Widow's Son is itself an unprecedented book concept. Relying on extensive investigative reporting and intellectual sleuthing, it is an explorer's field guide to understanding the main themes, ideas, symbols and historical issues which author Dan Brown will most likely utilise in The Solomon Key - months before this much-awaited sequel to The Da Vinci Code is even published.

Secrets of the Code told the story of how the riddle embedded in The Da Vinci Code's dust-cover pointed to Dan Brown's next book: selected letters appearing on the book jacket's flaps, slightly bolder than others, spelled out the mystically alluring question, 'Is There No Help for the Widow's Son?' Research led David Shugarts and his team to understand the role of the 'Widow's Son' in the history of Freemasonry, biblical apocrypha, Mormonism, and various secret societies and occult belief systems. Dan Brown has since confirmed that his next book is indeed about the Masons, and that protagonist Robert Langdon, of Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons fame, would be back to lead us on a symbolic treasure hunt throught the art, architecture and secret codes of the American capital, Washington DC.

Let's be clear: this book is not designed to be a plot spoiler for The Solomon Key. It is not trying to guess who will be murdered, or which fictional mysteries, cover-ups, and conspiracies will be invented to drive the plot of this story. Instead, Secrets of the Widow's Son is about the ideas and issues that will form the background and context for The Solomon Key.
