Generate your own Dan Brown novel, thanks to Slate:
A mysterious cipher whose key is somewhere in Ottawa.
A nefarious cult determined to protect it.
A frantic race to uncover the Boy Scouts of America's darkest secret.
The Serpentine Sign
When celebrated Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned to the Canadian Supreme Court to analyze a mysterious geometric form—drawn on a calling card next to the disfigured form of the head docent—he discovers evidence of the unthinkable: the resurgence of the ancient cult of the Auxofori, a secret branch of the Boy Scouts of America that has surfaced from the shadows to carry out its legendary vendetta against its mortal enemy, the Vatican.
Langdon's worst fears are confirmed when a messenger from the Auxofori appears at the Rideau Canal to deliver a deadly ultimatum: Deposit $1 billion in the Boy Scouts of America's off-shore bank accounts or the exclusive clothier of the Swiss Guards will be bankrupted. With the countdown under way, Langdon joins forces with the beautiful and quick-witted daughter of the murdered docent in a desperate bid to crack the code that will reveal the cult's secret plan.
Embarking on a frantic hunt, Langdon and his companion follow a 700-year-old trail through Ottawa's most exalted statues and venerable buildings, pursued by a one-handed assassin the cult has sent to thwart them. What they discover threatens to expose a conspiracy that goes all the way back to Davy Crockett and the very founding of the Boy Scouts of America.
