19. The Secrets of Secrets by Dan Brown
Sun Oct 12, 2025, 03:42 PM
Sunday

Dan Brown wrote Angels and Demons (2000) and The Da Vinci Code with the main character Robert Langdon. The Secret of Secrets takes place in Prague has Langdon running from the police and a secret organization.


Description from Amazon:
Robert Langdon, esteemed professor of symbology, travels to Prague to attend a groundbreaking lecture by Katherine Solomon—a prominent noetic scientist with whom he has recently begun a relationship. Katherine is on the verge of publishing an explosive book that contains startling discoveries about the nature of human consciousness and threatens to disrupt centuries of established belief. But a brutal murder catapults the trip into chaos, and Katherine suddenly disappears along with her manuscript. Langdon finds himself targeted by a powerful organization and hunted by a chilling assailant sprung from Prague’s most ancient mythology. As the plot expands into London and New York, Langdon desperately searches for Katherine . . . and for answers. In a thrilling race through the dual worlds of futuristic science and mystical lore, he uncovers a shocking truth about a secret project that will forever change the way we think about the human mind.


It's a long novel, 671 pages, and normally I can finish a novel in three days but this one is going to take me a week to finish. So far, it's kept my interest.
