Chapter 27 Summary

Ambra Vidal and Robert Langdon are in the dome at the Guggenheim, meters from Edmond Kirsch’s body and under the watchful eye of two Spanish royal guards. Langdon kneels to pray over Kirsch’s body, stealing his phone and using the victim’s thumb to unlock the device.

Perspective switches to Ambra Vidal, who recalls Kirsch telling her his revelatory announcement was prerecorded, stored on his private server. She knows his password is a line of poetry 47-characters long, though not which poem. She approaches Langdon, who rushes her out of the dome with the help of Winston.

Chapter 28 Summary

The two royal guards find Ambra Vidal’s abandoned phone, which they know has a tracker in it. The agents call museum security, who spot Langdon and Vidal leaving the museum.

Perspective moves to Langdon as he climbs scaffolding beside Vidal inside the dome’s outer casing. Winston has created the perfect diversion, posing as security to fool the guards and lure them away. Winston warns Langdon that he could be in danger from the assassin, but as Langdon steps out of the museum his connection to the AI device is cut.
