The Da Vinci Code is a 2003 mystery novel written by Dan Brown. It follows symbologists Robert Langdon and Sophie Neveu as they look into a murder at the Louvre in Paris. While they are investigating the murder, they discover a battle between the Priory of Sion and Opus Dei over the possibility of Jesus Christ having been married to and fathering a child with Mary Magdalene. The title of the book refers to the murder victim being found naked and posed like Leonardy da Vinci's Vitruvian Man with a cryptic message beside his body and a pentacle drawn on his chest in his hown blood. The book was believed to be based off of factual evidence which stirred controversy in Christian churches worldwide.

The book is a bestselling novel that has sold over 80 million copies as of last year. It has been translated to 44 different languages. It is Dan Brown's second novel, the first being his 2000 work titled Angels & Demons.
