Since announcement of publication in April 2009, anticipation for the

more than two years in the Sunday Times Top 10 Bestsellers list with
68 weeks spent at No.1.
Following the publication of The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown’s earlier
novels Angels and Demons, Deception Point and Digital Fortress have
all gone on to become multi-million copy international bestsellers
and rank as the UK’s 2nd, 3rd and 4th bestselling adult paperback
novels of all time.
