About the author
Dan Brown is an American thriller writer best known for the Robert Langdon novels. He builds his plots from compressed timelines, codes, artworks, secret histories, and the momentum of one clue opening directly onto the next.
Brown writes in short, alternating chapters, ending most of them at a new question or reversal. The historical claims are part of a speculative conspiracy thriller rather than a scholarly account; the novel's engine is the way those claims are turned into puzzles under pressure.
Where to start
Start with The Da Vinci Code. A murder in the Louvre sends Robert Langdon and Sophie Neveu through a trail of codes and paintings.
