…Oh, no. My mistake. It’s the U.S. Capitol. It’s on the cover of Dan Brown’s new book — whose cover was released yesterday with much fanfare<\/a>: <\/p>\n

<\/a> Ramping up the publicity campaign for Dan Brown\u2019s long-time-coming follow-up to \u201cThe Da Vinci Code,\u201d the publisher released the jacket art for \u201cThe Lost Symbol\u201d on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Showing a blood red wax seal, cryptic symbols and a shadowy skyline of the Capitol, the cover hinted at the setting for the book in Washington D.C. \u2014 \u201cthough it\u2019s a Washington few will recognize,\u201d said Jason Kaufman, Mr. Brown\u2019s editor. \u201cAs we would expect, he pulls back the veil \u2014 revealing an unseen world of mysticism, secret societies, and hidden locations, with a stunning twist that long predates America.\u201d Mr. Brown had previously written that the book would be \u201cset deep within the oldest fraternity in history,\u201d the Masons. The new novel, which is being published by the Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group on Sept. 15, features Robert Langdon, the protagonist of \u201cThe Da Vinci Code\u201d and \u201cAngels & Demons.\u201d Knopf Doubleday is planning a 5 million first print run in hardcover. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
