Dan Brown built his career on codes, secret societies, and conspiracy-laced thrillers, work that's drawn criticism from some corners as anti-Christian even as he maintains his novels are meant to spark spiritual conversation rather than settle it. Both The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons became films starring Tom Hanks, with The Lost Symbol also in development for the screen.
This guide runs all nine of his novels, from Digital Fortress in 1998 through 2025's The Secret of Secrets — more than a quarter century of puzzle-driven suspense.
