Bilbao houses the Guggenheim Museum, which, according to many fans, seems to be certainly in play for a major role in the novel. Speculations have been drawn from the previous books featuring Robert Langdon and his adventures in association with the Louvre, the Vatican, and the Museum of Palazzo Vecchio.

In a news release, Doubleday also offered a few hints about the book's themes but didn't provide any details about the plot, reported The Los Angeles Times.

The publisher said, “In keeping with his trademark style, Brown interweaves codes, symbols, science, religion, history, art and architecture with a decidedly fresh twist: The art is modern, and the science taps into the coolest, cutting-edge technology available today.”

The most recent book in the series featuring Langdon was, “Inferno,” which was published in 2013. These books with Langdon as the protagonist have all been hugely successful, be it The Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons, or Inferno. Dan Brown's novels have sold more than 200 million copies worldwide.
