Epilogue and Chapters 1-30Chapter Summaries & Analyses

Chapter 1 Summary

Robert Langdon, a professor of religious iconography at Harvard University, is awoken by his phone ringing. The caller introduces himself as Maximilian Kohler, a discrete particle physicist, and he urgently needs Langdon’s assistance on a confidential matter. Langdon, angry at being called so early, hangs up, assuming that the caller is a religious zealot. Kohler faxes Langdon an image of a naked and tortured corpse emblazoned with the word “Illuminati.” Langdon is shocked and amazed. He sees that Kohler is still on the line, so he picks up the receiver.

Chapter 2 Summary

Kohler insists that Langdon, as an Illuminati expert, must help them solve the mystery of the murdered man. Kohler tells Langdon that he has sent a plane to bring him to his facility, which is only an hour from Boston. Langdon, intrigued by the symbol on the man’s chest, agrees.

Chapter 3 Summary

Two men meet in a dark chamber. One of the men—a killer—confirms that a task was completed successfully and hands over a heavy electronic device to the other man.
