Like The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown’s Vatican thriller Angels & Demons is packed with murder, mayhem and mystery.
The realm of the paranormal, and an unholy battle between faith and science, provide a Roman’s orgy worth of food for thought. The novel has ignited a firestorm of questions on topics as diverse as quantum physics to the papal selection process, from modern conspiracy theory to the worlds of Bernini and Galileo.
