I originally picked this up for another member of our household, but ended up reading it myself.

Both the cover and title, screamed 'Da Vinci Code' so having loved the movie, I decided to give it a go.

It's enticing from the get go. Professor Thomas Lourdes has been invited to Istanbul by fellow Professor (and flame) Olympia, but he ends up getting kidnapped at the airport. Though the kidnapper seems to be the least of his worries, as he is also being targeted by the US Government (but we're not sure why just yet).
