Plot summary

Having escaped death by the skin of his teeth after the events of Angels & Demons (2009), wounded Professor Robert Langdon finds himself hospitalised in Florence, Italy. And suffering from severe memory lapses, Langdon is haunted by hellish visions of eternally damned sinners and pressing questions about the events that preceded his accident. As the inquisitive academic joins forces with Dr Sienna Brooks, unknown forces try to retrieve a hi-end, fingerprint-protected container involving a billionaire biomedical engineer with a vision stemming from Dante Alighieri's famous work, Inferno. Now, Robert and Sienna sniff for clues scattered all over Europe, trying to navigate through a maze of secrets and a sinister conspiracy that can cost millions of lives. What mysteries await them at the end of the line when the search is finally over?—Nick Riganas
