NEW YORK– Dan Brown, the bestselling author of the Da Vinci Code, is set to release a new novel on May 14.

According to The Guardian, Dan Brown’s dapper, tweed-suited symbologist Robert Langdon, the man who cracked The Da Vinci Code and found The Lost Symbol, is about to embark on a new mystery – and this time it’s literary.

Named “Inferno,” for the first part of the Italian poet Dante’s epic Divine Comedy, the new book will be set in Florence, Italy.

The title was revealed today via social media sites including Twitter and Facebook. Each time fans used #DanBrownTODAY in their posts, a piece of a mosaic was unlocked – which eventually revealed the name and the image of the Basilica of Santa Maria del Fiore, better known as the Duomo, in the Tuscan city says the BBC.

Among the posts were guesses as to what the new title would be. Way more fun than “Inferno…”
