The DaVinci Code
While on a trip to France, Robert Langdon gets caught up in a gruesome murder- one that will send him scrambling for answers. Although the clues hidden in famous works of Leonardo DaVinci are very mysterious, the ending is the most mysterious of all.

Deception Point
Rachel Sexton is caught between the current president and her father, Senator Sexton, in the upcoming election. The president asks for her help in the strangest way, and she ends up on an iceburg in the frigid ocean well above the Arctic Circle. Everything does not go as planned, however, and the highly classified information she discovers is enough to end the election- and her life.
