Kiedy dociera na miejsce, okazuje się, że zaproszenie było starannie przygotowaną pułapką. Na wieczór nie zaplanowano żadnego odczytu. Pośrodku historycznej Rotundy ktoś umieścił odciętą dłoń Petera z wytatuowanymi symbolami i masońskim pierścieniem. To mistyczne zaproszenie do zaginionego świata skrywającego tajemną wiedzę. Chcąc uratować porwanego przyjaciela, Langdon musi przyjąć zaproszenie i odnaleźć starożytny portal położony gdzieś na terenie miasta. Ma na to zaledwie kilkanaście godzin. W przeciwnym razie Solomon zginie. Rozpoczyna się szalony wyścig z czasem. Robert podąża tam, dokąd prowadzą go zaszyfrowane wskazówki: przesłanie ukryte w kwadratach magicznych, w Melancholii Albrechta Dürera, słynne rzeźbie Kryptos zdobiącej siedzibę CIA i na gigantycznym białym obelisku upamiętniającym prezydenturę Jerzego Waszyngtona. Do tajemnych komnat i świątyń znajdujących się pod jednym z najpotężniejszych miast świata. Do miejsc skrywających prastare sekrety loży masońskiej i tajemnice, których wielu wolałoby nie ujawniać.
