The man lies on his death bed so as to protect his secret. The plot starts with the murder of a famous art historian Jaques Saunière, the curator of the Louvre Museum. If one could read the book, including the facts since a number of sources question the authenticity of the facts, as fiction, the plot may seem to be quite a fast-paced read and may entertain a reader but following the same pattern with every book just makes the plot far too predictable which would quite opposite the point of a mystery-thriller. A man who is painted as antagonist turns out to be good and a man every one thought to be noble turns out as the main villain. A death is followed by a quest for an entity that could destroy the world, Robert Langdon is paired with a beautiful but intelligent woman and the two discuss a lot of historical facts which are related to the theme of the book and which add to the sense of over-whelming of the reader. The plot of the book mirrors the plot Brown seems to be incorporating in each of his books in the mystery-thriller genre.
