A scientist at CERN, the research centre that straddles the French and Swiss border, is murdered in grisly and mysterious circumstances, launching a race against the clock to prevent a much bigger crime. As in The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown constructs a pacy thriller that touches on history, theology and God. The book is Angels and Demons.

As Dan Brown publishes the next installment of the adventures of 'symbologist' Robert Langdon in The Secret of Secrets, this podcast goes back to where the story began - Geneva. The place is CERN.

In the podcast we meet a young scientist inspired to work at CERN when she read the novel, and discover a book of short stories based on the real science that searches for the secrets of the universe.
