According to the story the Catholic Church has many reasons to want to keep the grail hidden. Legend says that Mary Magdalene was buried with papers that prove that the Catholic Church lied about many things including the life of Mary Magdalene and Jesus.

This book is called The DaVicni Code because of the way Sauniere passes on the Priory’s secrets. His granddaughter Sophie Neveu is a cryptologist with the Paris police department. Her special talent is breaking codes. Museum curators have a special pen that they use to mark paintings with. This pen can only be seen with a black light.
