Could
that
be
it
?
Grabbing
the
left
side
of
the
carved
wood
frame
,
she
pulled
it
toward
her
.
The
painting
was
large
and
the
backing
flexed
as
she
swung
it
away
from
the
wall
.
Sophie
slipped
her
head
and
shoulders
in
behind
the
painting
and
raised
the
black
light
to
inspect
the
back
.
It
took
only
seconds
to
realize
her
instinct
had
been
wrong
.
The
back
of
the
painting
was
pale
and
blank
.
There
was
no
purple
text
here
,
only
the
mottled
brown
backside
of
aging
canvas
and

Sophie
s
eyes
locked
on
an
incongruous
glint
of
lustrous
metal
lodged
near
the
bottom
edge
of
the
frame
s
wooden
armature
.
The
object
was
small
,
partially
wedged
in
the
slit
where
the
canvas
met
the
frame
.
A
shimmering
gold
chain
dangled
off
it
.
To
Sophie
s
utter
amazement
,
the
chain
was
affixed
to
a
familiar
gold
key
.
The
broad
,
sculpted
head
was
in
the
shape
of
a
cross
and
bore
an
engraved
seal
she
had
not
seen
since
she
was
nine
years
old
.
A
fleur
-
de
-
lis
with
the
initials
P
.
S
.
In
that
instant
,
Sophie
felt
the
ghost
of
her
grandfather
whispering
in
her
ear
.
When
the
time
comes
,
the
key
will
be
yours
.
A
tightness
gripped
her
throat
as
she
realized
that
her
grandfather
,
even
in
death
,
had
kept
his
promise
.
This
key
opens
a
box
,
his
voice
was
saying
,
where
I
keep
many
secrets
.
Sophie
now
realized
that
the
entire
purpose
of
tonight
s
word
game
had
been
this
key
.
Her
grandfather
had
it
with
him
when
he
was
killed
.
Not
wanting
it
to
fall
into
the
hands
of
the
police
,
he
hid
it
behind
this
painting
.
Then
he
devised
an
ingenious
treasure
hunt
to
ensure
only
Sophie
would
find
it
.

the
guard
s
voice
yelled
.
Sophie
snatched
the
key
from
behind
the
painting
and
slipped
it
deep
in
her
pocket
along
with
the
UV
penlight
.
Peering
out
from
behind
the
canvas
,
she
could
see
the
guard
was
still
trying
desperately
to
raise
someone
on
the
walkie
-
talkie
.
He
was
backing
toward
the
entrance
,
still
aiming
the
gun
firmly
at
Langdon
.
