Masonic content of Dan Brown's new novel

On occasion, Dan Brown has let slip a clue or two about his next novel. There are clues about "the widow's son" and other hidden codes on the dust jacket of Brown's bestselling novel The Da Vinci Code. In an appearance last year, Brown said the new novel will take place in Washington and will center on the fraternal order of Freemasons. And that the city's architecture will play a major role.

The list of Masonic buildings starts with the House of the Temple at 1733 16th Street NW, about 13 blocks north of the White House. This is the home of the Supreme Council 33° of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. [More]
