The sequel to Dan Brown's best-selling novel 'The Da Vinci Code' could include the early history of the racist group, the Ku Klux Klan, as well as the surprising circumstances surrounding the founding of the United States. According to author Greg Taylor, Brown's next novel will delve into the threads of Masonic influence which have run through American history. Part of this history includes the secretive Scottish Rite Freemasonry, which may be connected to the Ku Klux Klan through a mysterious group known as the Knights of the Golden Circle.
In his book, titled 'Da Vinci in America', Taylor predicts the likely content and setting of Brown's 'The Solomon Key' by using clues and hints left by Brown on the cover of 'The Da Vinci Code', on his website, and in media interviews. Taylor says the clues clearly show that Brown will write about the controversial subject of Masonic influences in the founding of the United States. In 'Da Vinci in America', he investigates the strange history behind the enigmatic Great Seal, which also featured in the recent hit movie 'National Treasure'.
Taylor's book also predicts that 'The Solomon Key', which once again features symbologist Robert Langdon, will be set in Washington, D.C. On the basis of hints left by Brown, he believes that some of the likely locations in the book will be the Washington Monument, Meridian Park, and the 'House of the Temple' Masonic Lodge.
