 Prologue
 Louvre Museum察Paris 1046 P。M。
 
 Renowned curator Jacques Sauni┬re staggered through the vaulted archway of the museum's Grand Gallery。 He lunged for the nearest painting he could see察a Caravaggio。 Grabbing the gilded frame察the seventy´six´year´old man heaved the masterpiece toward himself until it tore from the wall and Sauni┬re collapsed backward in a heap beneath the canvas。
 As he had anticipated察a thundering iron gate fell nearby察barricading the entrance to the suite。 The parquet floor shook。 Far off察an alarm began to ring。
 The curator lay a moment察gasping for breath察taking stock。 I am still alive。 He crawled out from under the canvas and scanned the cavernous space for someplace to hide。
 A voice spoke察chillingly close。 ;Do not move。;
 On his hands and knees察the curator froze察turning his head slowly。
 Only fifteen feet away察outside the sealed gate察the mountainous silhouette of his attacker stared through the iron bars。 He was broad and tall察with ghost´pale skin and thinning white hair。 His irises were pink with dark red pupils。 The albino drew a pistol from his coat and aimed the barrel through the bars察directly at the curator。 ;You should not have run。; His accent was not easy to place。 ;Now tell me where it is。;
 ;I told you already察─the curator stammered察kneeling defenseless on the floor of the gallery。 ;I have no idea what you are talking about 
 ;You are lying。; The man stared at him察perfectly immobile except for the glint in his ghostly eyes。 ;You and your brethren possess something that is not yours。;
 The curator felt a surge of adrenaline。 How could he possibly know this
 ;Tonight the rightful guardians will be restored。 Tell me where it is hidden察and you will live。; The man leveled his gun at the curator's head。 ;Is it a secret you will die for拭
 Sauni┬re could not breathe。
 The man tilted his head察peering down the barrel of his gun。
 Sauni┬re held up his hands in defense。 ;Wait察─he said slowly。 ;I will tell you what you need to know。; The curator spoke his next words carefully。 The lie he told was one he had rehearsed many times。。。 each time praying he would never have to use it。
 When the curator had finished speaking察his assailant smiled smugly。 ;Yes。 This is exactly what the others told me。;
 Sauni┬re recoiled。 The others
 ;I found them察too察─the huge man taunted。 ;All three of them。 They confirmed what you have just said。;
 It cannot be The curator's true identity察along with the identities of his three s└n└chaux察was almost as sacred as the ancient secret they protected。 Sauni┬re now realized his s└n└chaux察following strict procedure察had told the same lie before their own deaths。 It was part of the protocol。
 The attacker aimed his gun again。 ;When you are gone察I will be the only one who knows the truth。;
 The truth。 In an instant察the curator grasped the true horror of the situation。 If I die察the truth will be lost forever。 Instinctively察he tried to scramble for cover。
 The gun roared察and the curator felt a searing heat as the bullet lodged in his stomach。 He fell forward。。。 struggling against the pain。 Slowly察Sauni┬re rolled over and stared back through the bars at his attacker。
 The man was now taking dead aim at Sauni┬re's head。
 Sauni┬re closed his eyes察his thoughts a swirling tempest of fear and regret。
 The click of an empty chamber echoed through the corridor。
 The curator's eyes flew open。
 The man glanced down at his weapon察looking almost amused。 He reached for a second clip察but then seemed to reconsider察smirking calmly at Sauni┬re's gut。 ;My work here is done。;
 The curator looked down and saw the bullet hole in his white linen shirt。 It was framed by a small circle of blood a few inches below his breastbone。 My stomach。 Almost cruelly察the bullet had missed his heart。 As a veteran of la Guerre d'Alg└rie察the curator had witnessed this horribly drawn´out death before。 For fifteen minutes察he would survive as his stomach acids seeped into his chest cavity察slowly poisoning him from within。
 ;Pain is good察monsieur察─the man said。
 Then he was gone。
 Alone now察Jacques Sauni┬re turned his gaze again to the iron gate。 He was trapped察and the doors could not be reopened for at least twenty minutes。 By the time anyone got to him察he would be dead。 Even so察the fear that now gripped him was a fear far greater than that of his own death。
 I must pass on the secret。
 Staggering to his feet察he pictured his three murdered brethren。 He thought of the generations who had e before them。。。 of the mission with which they had all been entrusted。
 An unbroken chain of knowledge。
 Suddenly察now察despite all the precautions。。。 despite all the fail´safes。。。 Jacques Sauni┬re was the only remaining link察the sole guardian of one of the most powerful secrets ever kept。
 Shivering察he pulled himself to his feet。
 I must find some way。。。。
 He was trapped inside the Grand Gallery察and there existed only one person on earth to whom he could pass the torch。 Sauni┬re gazed up at the walls of his opulent prison。 A collection of the world's most famous paintings seemed to smile down on him like old friends。
 Wincing in pain察he summoned all of his faculties and strength。 The desperate task before him察he knew察would require every remaining second of his life。
  
 CHAPTER 1
 
 Robert Langdon awoke slowly。
 A telephone was ringing in the darkness´a tinny察unfamiliar ring。 He fumbled for the bedside lamp and turned it on。 Squinting at his surroundings he saw a plush Renaissance bedroom with Louis XVI furniture察hand´frescoed walls察and a colossal mahogany four´poster bed。
 Where the hell am I
 The jacquard bathrobe hanging on his bedpost bore the monogram此HOTEL RITZ PARIS。
 Slowly察the fog began to lift。
 Langdon picked up the receiver。 ;Hello拭
 ;Monsieur Langdon拭─a man's voice said。 ;I hope I have not awoken you拭
 Dazed察Langdon looked at the bedside clock。 It was 1232 A。M。 He had been asleep only an hour察but he felt like the dead。
 ;This is the concierge察monsieur。 I apologize for this intrusion察but you have a visitor。 He insists it is urgent。;
 Langdon still felt fuzzy。 A visitor拭His eyes focused now on a crumpled flyer on his bedsid
