The story has quite the sophisticated plot and great characters who are both charming and relentless. You'll even like the bad guys -- that is, if you can figure out who the bad guys are. If you're a fan of "The DaVinci Code," you will really enjoy this book. Feel free to email with any questions. ~LeAnn
