the pyramids and demon’s hole, he had not even seen this sculpture. He moved across the room, through the crowd. As he drew near, Langdon recognized the work was pure Bernini—the intensity of the artistic composition, the intricate faces and flowing clothing, all from the purest white marble Vatican money could buy. It was not until he was almost directly in front of it that Langdon recognized the sculpture itself. He stared up at the two faces and gasped.

“Who are they?” Vittoria urged, arriving behind him.

Langdon stood astonished. “Habakkuk and the Angel,” he said, his voice almost inaudible. The piece was a fairly well-known Bernini work that was included in some art history texts. Langdon had forgotten it was here.

“Habakkuk?”

“Yes. The prophet who predicted the annihilation of the earth.”

Vittoria looked uneasy. “You think this is the marker?”

Langdon nodded in amazement. Never in his life had he been so sure of anything. This was the first

Illuminati marker. No doubt. Although Langdon had fully expected the sculpture to somehow “point” to the next altar of science, he did not expect it to be literal. Both the angel and Habakkuk had their arms outstretched and were pointing into the distance.

Langdon found himself suddenly smiling. “Not too subtle, is it?”

Vittoria looked excited but confused. “I see them pointing, but they are contradicting each other. The angel is pointing one way, and the prophet the other.”

Langdon chuckled. It was true. Although both figures were pointing into the distance, they were pointing in totally opposite directions. Langdon, however, had already solved that problem. With a burst of energy he headed for the door.

“Where are you going?” Vittoria called.

“Outside the building!” Langdon’s legs felt light again as he ran toward the door. “I need to see what direction that sculpture is pointing!”

“Wait! How do you know which finger to follow?”

“The poem,” he called over his shoulder. “The last line!”

“ ‘Let angels guide you on your lofty quest?’ ” She gazed upward at the outstretched finger of the angel.
