Da Vinci Code hearing adjourned

An English judge hearing claims by two historians that The Da Vinci Code author Dan Brown stole their ideas adjourned the case today to give him time to read the books in more detail. Judge Peter Smith will restart proceedings brought by Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh next Wednesday once he has read the blockbusting novel and the 1982 publication they wrote with Henry Lincoln, The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail. He will also read other texts cited as sources for the books. [More]
