Wiki says:
In 1994, Brown released the CD Angels & Demons. The artwork was the same ambigram by artist John Langdon, which he later used for the novel Angels & Demons.
that may be as close as you get to a real life Robert Langdon, who first appeared in the novel Angels & Demons as a Harvard symbology expert.
Brown was inspired to write thrillers after reading Sidney Sheldon’s novel The Doomsday Conspirator in 1993. The Lost Symbol is the third novel featuring Robert Langdon and was released Sept 15, 2009.
