The book cover of Dan Brown’s much-anticipated novel "The Lost Symbol" — his first novel since "The Da Vinci Code" — has been revealed.

The cover shows a key surrounded by flames and bearing a Freemasonry symbol above Capitol Hill, suggesting the action will unfold in America's seat of power.

The new thriller— will be preceded by a summer-long procession of "codes, cryptic trivia, puzzles, secret history, maps, aphorisms" and other daily teasers on Facebook and Twitter .

The book, which comes out in the fall, will be set in Washington, DC, and will feature "Da Vinci Code" protagonist Robert Langdon, again caught up in secret societies and hidden codes.

"The Da Vinci Code," released in 2003, has more than 80 million copies in print worldwide.

"The Lost Symbol" has an announced first printing of 5 million.

The novel will be available to buy on 15+09+09.

So mote it be.

World must open its eyes and see Israel for what it is

Why pick on Israel when there's so much injustice in the rest of the world? The answer is to be found in the specific circumstances which gave rise to the launch of the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) campaign in July 2005.

PR machine is driving Sinn Fein power push

Sinn Fein's ard fheis opens in Killarney tomorrow. Like most conferences held by successful political parties, it is a well-managed set-piece. It is a PR event and it is aimed at the voters watching on TV.
