Free Downloads of ‘Da Vinci Code’ to Promote ‘Inferno’
How about this for a promotional thriller: Beginning Monday, on the 10th anniversary of the release of the mega-bestseller “The Da Vinci Code,” its publisher, Doubleday, will allow anyone to download the entire book free for a week.

The move is part celebration and part marketing experiment, because the download will come with the prologue and one chapter of Dan Brown’s forthcoming book, “Inferno.”

The free download will be available only in the United States and Canada through all e-book retailers, through March 24. A serialization in print only of the prologue and first chapter of “Inferno” will begin Sunday in The Daily Mail in Britain.
