In a breathless race through Paris, London, and beyond, Langdon and Neveu match wits with a faceless powerbroker who seems to anticipate their every move. Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle in time, the Priory's ancient secret - and an explosive historical truth - will be lost forever.

Inferno [French Version]
Summary
Robert Langdon - professeur de symbologie à Harvard - se réveille dans un hôpital de Florence, en proie à une amnésie portant sur les dernières trente-six heures. Pourquoi est-il en Italie ? Mais surtout quel est cet objet étrange qu'on a retrouvé dans sa veste ? Quand on attente à nouveau à sa vie, il s'enfuit avec une jeune femme médecin, Sienna. Et il comprend alors que l'objet en question restitue l'image de "La Carte de l'Enfer" de Botticelli, inspirée au peintre par le poème de Dante. Il s'agit du message codé d'un éminent scientifique obsédé par la fin du monde. Ils se lancent à la poursuite de l'ultime création du scientifique - véritable bombe à retardement - dont personne ne sait si elle va améliorer la vie sur terre ou la détruire. A huit siècles d'écart, un dialogue entre passé et présent dont l'élégance d'interprétation de François d'Aubigny rend à la fois le rythme du suspense et la subtilité des intentions.
