Excitement is heating up: Dan Brown's INFERNO is now out

by Tyler Vitt - Tuesday, May 14, 2013 at 11:28am

In his international blockbusters The Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons, and The Lost Symbol, Dan Brown masterfully fused history, art, codes, and symbols.

In this riveting new thriller, Inferno, Brown returns to his element and has crafted his highest-stakes novel to date.


In the heart of Italy, Harvard professor of symbology Robert Langdon is drawn into a harrowing world centered on one of history's most enduring and mysterious literary masterpieces . . . Dante's Inferno.

Against this backdrop, Langdon battles a chilling adversary and grapples with an ingenious riddle that pulls him into a landscape of classic art, secret passageways, and futuristic science. Drawing from Dante's dark epic poem, Langdon races to find answers and decide whom to trust . . . before the world is irrevocably altered.



Just released today, Inferno is already selling like wildfire. We've still got plenty of stock but at 30% OFF we don't expect them to remain for long! Come and secure your copy soon. You can find the book front and centre in our stores, right before the cash desk.
