A scientist at CERN, the research centre that straddles the French and Swiss border, is murdered in grisly and mysterious circumstances, launching a race against the clock to prevent a much bigger crime. As in The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown constructs a pacy thriller that touches on history, theology and God. The book is <i>Angels and Demons.</i><br /><br />As Dan Brown publishes the next installment of the adventures of 'symbologist' Robert Langdon in<i> The Secret of Secrets</i>, this podcast goes back to where the story began - Geneva. The place is CERN.<br /><br />In the podcast we meet a young scientist inspired to work at CERN when she read the novel, and discover a book of short stories based on the real science that searches for the secrets of the universe.<br /><br />Episode page: <a href="https://bit.ly/4n1ByfX" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://bit.ly/4n1ByfX</a><br /><br /><a href="https://robinpomeroy.wordpress.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">abookaplace.com</a><br /><br />Part book club, part travel guide, part history podcast, A Book - A Place: Geneva takes you to the places behind the stories that made the city.
