Angels and Demons (2000) by Dan Brown is the less well-known first novel in the series continued by The Da Vinci Code. It features Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon, as he tries to stop the Illuminati from destroying the Vatican City with the newly-discovered power of antimatter. As in Da Vinci, it largely involves Langdon following a trail of ancient clues until he discovers the truth about the Illuminati and the Vatican. Also similar to Da Vinci is that it takes place within mostly one day and teams Langdon with a beautiful woman whose father has been killed.
