Robert Langdon, a Harvard professor of religious iconology and symbology, gives Dan Brown's thriller series its name. Cryptography, murder and disputed readings of Christian history drive the books, a mix that has drawn controversy; Brown has said on his website that the novels are not anti-Christian. Six titles make up the series: Angels & Demons (2000), The Da Vinci Code (2003), The Lost Symbol (2009), Inferno (2013), Origin (2017) and The Secret of Secrets (2025).
