Hij groeide op op de campus van de Phillips Exeter Academy, waar zijn vader wiskundeleraar was, en studeerde Engelse literatuur en kunstgeschiedenis aan Amherst College, waar hij in 1986 afstudeerde. In 1980 studeerde hij een zomer Spaans in Gijón, Spanje. Voor zijn schrijverscarrière was hij onder meer popzanger, pianist en docent Engels. Zijn boeken behoren tot het zogenoemde fact fiction-genre, waarin verzonnen verhalen worden verweven met historische en wetenschappelijke achtergronden, en draaien om cryptografie, kunst, codes en complottheorieën.\n\nBrown debuteerde in 1998 met Digital Fortress, in het Nederlands verschenen als Het Juvenalis dilemma. Daarna volgden onder meer Angels & Demons (2000) — in Nederland uitgebracht als Het Bernini mysterie — en Deception Point, in Nederland verschenen als De Delta deceptie. Internationale doorbraak liet nog even op zich wachten: pas met zijn vierde thriller wist Brown wereldwijd door te breken.\n\nDie thriller was The Da Vinci Code (2003), in Nederland en België vanaf 2004 maandenlang aanvoerder van de bestsellerlijsten. Het boek bouwt voort op pseudohistorische complottheorieën die sinds de jaren tachtig populair waren, onder meer door Het heilige bloed en de heilige graal. Het leverde Brown de bijnaam 'de Umberto Eco voor de gewone man' op. Kenmerkend voor zijn Robert Langdon-boeken zijn schattenjachten die zich doorgaans binnen 24 uur afspelen, met terugkerende thema's als symboliek, religie en cryptografie. The Da Vinci Code werd in 2006 verfilmd door Ron Howard met Tom Hanks in de hoofdrol; ook Het Bernini mysterie (2009) en Inferno (2016) werden verfilmd.\n\nNa De Da Vinci code volgden binnen de Robert Langdon-reeks Het verloren symbool (The Lost Symbol, 2009), Inferno (2013) en Oorsprong (Origin, 2017). In 2025 verscheen het meest recente deel, in het Nederlands uitgebracht als Het ultieme geheim. Browns boeken zijn vertaald in 57 talen en wereldwijd zijn er meer dan 200 miljoen exemplaren van verkocht. Rond The Da Vinci Code volgden enkele plagiaatzaken, onder meer aangespannen door Michael Baigent en Richard Leigh; beide aanklachten werden ongegrond verklaard.\n\nVoor Nederlandse lezers verschijnt Browns werk bij Luitingh-Sijthoff, die alle Robert Langdon-delen in vertaling uitbrengt. Wie nog niet bekend is met zijn werk begint het beste bij De Da Vinci code: het is de roman waarmee hij doorbrak en die de toon zet voor de hele reeks rond symboloog Robert Langdon. Wie de delen op chronologische volgorde wil lezen, start bij Het Bernini mysterie, het eerste boek waarin Langdon optreedt.",{"title":29,"description":30,"h1":5,"primary_keyword":31,"secondary_keywords":32,"tagline":38},"Dan Brown — meester van de code-thriller | volgendboek.nl","Dan Brown boeken: van De Da Vinci code tot Het ultieme geheim.

Far from home and well out of his comfort zone, Langdon must pit his wits against forces unknown to recover the woman he loves. But Prague is an old and dangerous city, steeped in folklore and mystery.
