Dan Brown’s The Secret of Secrets debuts in Prague with signed copies and special tours

Dan Brown’s new novel, The Secret of Secrets, launched this morning at Prague’s Old Town Hall. Sales began at 7 a.m., with some fans lining up overnight. A hundred signed copies were reserved for the earliest buyers, though the crowd far outnumbered that. The global release took place simultaneously in New York.

The book once again follows Robert Langdon, the adventurous professor of religious iconology and symbology. Its cover, featuring Charles Bridge, was designed by British graphic artist Neil Johnston, who lives and works in Prague.

To mark the release, Prague City Tourism has also prepared guided walks called Prague of Dan Brown for both locals and visitors.
