Sometimes the only way to recover a stolen masterpiece is to steal it
back …
Gabriel Allon has been awarded a commission to restore one of the most
important paintings in Venice. But when he discovers the body of a
mysterious woman floating in the waters of the Venetian Lagoon, he
finds himself in a desperate race to recover a lost masterpiece by
Leonardo da Vinci.
The painting, a portrait of a beautiful young girl, has been gathering
dust in a storeroom at the Vatican Museums for more than a century,
misattributed and hidden beneath a worthless picture by an unknown
artist. Because no one knows that the Leonardo is there, no one notices
when it disappears one night during a suspicious power outage. No one
but the ruthless mobsters and moneymen behind the theft – and the
mysterious woman whom Gabriel found in a watery grave in Venice. A
woman without a name. A woman without a face.

Of course, no one would ever do this particular something -- except the Lamberts, who might have to.
No one has ever gone this far. Until Sally decides that the Lamberts will...

A thrilling and long-awaited new novel from globally bestselling author
Dan Brown
Accompanying celebrated academic, Katherine Solomon, to a lecture she’s
been invited to give in Prague, Robert Langdon’s world spirals out of
control when she disappears without trace from their hotel room. Far
from home and well out of his comfort zone, Langdon must pit his wits
against forces unknown to recover the woman he loves.
But Prague is an old and dangerous city, steeped in folklore and
mystery. For over two thousand years, the tides of history have washed
back and forth over it, leaving behind echoes of everything that has
gone before. Little can Langdon know that he is being stalked by a
spectre from that dark past. He must use all of his arcane knowledge to
decipher the world around him before he too is consumed by the rings of
treachery and deception that have swallowed Katherine.
Against a backdrop of vast castles, towering churches, graveyards
buried twelve deep and labyrinthine underground passages, Langdon must
navigate a shadow city hiding in plain sight, a city which has
successfully kept its secrets for centuries and will not readily
deliver them. This is a battlefield unlike any he has previously
experienced, one on which he must fight not for his only life, but for
the future of humanity itself.
The Secret Of Secrets is Dan Brown’s first novel for over eight years
and sees the stunning return of Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon,
this time pitting his wits against a conspiracy which will test even
his considerable brainpower and take him to the edge of losing all that
he holds dear…

‘Nozipho’s story shows how all our experiences are rehearsals getting
us ready for the big stages of life. It’s a wonderful piece of work!’ –
Dr Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, former Deputy President of South Africa
When the flames of life’s challenges have swept through you, who do you
become from the ashes?
Nozipho Tshabalala is a high-performing, excellence-driven, successful
black woman. Being in control of everything in her life was crucial to
her survival and success. For the most part, it had always served her
well – until it didn’t.
In this captivating and deeply personal memoir, conversation strategist
Nozipho invites you into her world – one shaped by political violence,
professional triumphs on global stages and the intimate battles with
loss that would test her most fundamental beliefs. Now in her 40s, she
has realised that what she needed most to survive may not be what she
needs to thrive.
After the Fires is a call to reclaim the narrative amid life’s
unexpected turns. It honours the complexity of womanhood while
celebrating the possibility of becoming exactly who you were meant to
be, even when that person looks nothing like what you imagined.
With vulnerability and wisdom, Nozipho demonstrates how surrender
becomes not an act of defeat but a pathway to freedom. Her story
reminds us that sometimes our greatest strength lies not in holding
tighter but in opening our hands to release what no longer serves us.
