THE HALLOWED ENIGMA

When renowned Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned to Olvera Street to analyze a mysterious rune—imprinted on a gold ring lying next to the disemboweled corpse of the head docent—he discovers evidence of the unthinkable: the resurgence of the ancient cult of the Destinati, a secret branch of the Teamsters that has surfaced from the shadows to carry out its legendary vendetta against its mortal enemy, the Vatican.

Langdon's worst fears are confirmed when a messenger from the Destinati appears at Disneyland's Matterhorn to deliver a fateful ultimatum: Turn over the archbishop, or one cherub will disappear from the Sistine Chapel every day. With only three days to foil their plot, Langdon joins forces with the nervy and charming daughter of the murdered docent in a desperate bid to crack the code that will reveal the cult's secret plan.

Embarking on a frantic hunt, Langdon and his companion follow a 200-year-old trail through Los Angeles's most exalted statues and venerable monuments, pursued by a one-eyed assassin the cult has sent to thwart them. What they discover threatens to expose a conspiracy that goes all the way back to Jimmy Hoffa and the very founding of the Teamsters.

Potential bestseller, no?

  2. You too?!!!! I even saw them once in San Francisco. I had to scour to find a "clean" version of Undead.

    Notice my dove in the lower left-hand corner?

  4. I prefer the explicit version as well.

    I think they have a new CD coming out Desperate Measures.

    I play "Undead" or rather blast it whenever I'm having a bad day and then scream out the lyrics. "You better get out the way!"
