Frenzy over Brown’s new book

Booksellers are expecting major sales as Dan Brown unleashes his code breaker Robert Langdon back into the literary world today.

Brown’s latest novel, Inferno, is expected to be among the biggest selling books of the year.

Langdon, the lead character from Brown’s previous three thrillers, The Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons, and The Lost Symbol returns in a book set in Florence and centred on a part of Italian poet Dante’s epic poem Divine Comedy.
