WASHINGTON: Conspiracy theorists and book fans have been hot-footing it to the bookshops to snap up the latest offering by top author Dan Brown.

The best-selling writer of The Da Vinci Code’s latest offering hit the shelves yesterday and deals with a fictional view of Freemasonry.

The Lost Symbol, a sequel to The Da Vinci Code, unfolds over 12 hours and again features the Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon.

It has taken Brown five years to write.

As soon as it was announced booksellers predicted it would be as big a seller as JK Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

But although there is a definite ringing of the tills, there was no manic dash to own Brown’s latest hardback.

People have been anticipating this book for quite some time now, and I'm sure it will be very entertaining. The first one was very solid, so let's see if part 2 can emulate all the previous success. On a side note, that lady with the book in your image looks happy and freaky at the same time. Either she's very excited, and I mean going downstairs on Christmas Eve and seeing Santa Clause excited. Or, she ain't up to no good, and I'm talking about going downstairs on Christmas Eve and lighting the chimney on fire while Santa Clause comes down no good.
