Dan Brown, the bestselling author of The Da Vinci Code, is to release new book Inferno in May.

Inferno it will be the fourth novel in the crime series following Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon.

Dan Brown said he was influenced by Italian poet Dante’s classic work, Inferno, while researching in Florence.

Set in Italy, the book will see Robert Langdon drawn into “a harrowing world centred on one of history’s most enduring and mysterious literary masterpieces”.

“Although I studied Dante’s Inferno as a student, it wasn’t until recently that I came to appreciate the enduring influence of Dante’s work on the modern world,” Dan Brown said.

“With this new novel, I am excited to take readers on a journey deep into this mysterious realm…a landscape of codes, symbols, and more than a few secret passageways.”
