BOSTON (AP) The Da Vinci Code author Dan Brown and his ex-wife have agreed to settle a lawsuit in which she alleged he led a secret life during their marriage that included several affairs.

The couple agreed to voluntary dismiss the lawsuit and any and all claims and counterclaims in this matter, according to court papers filed Monday in a New Hampshire court.

Blythe Brown and Dan Brown have reached an amicable resolution of their disagreements, and will have no further comment, Blythe Browns attorney Harvey Wolkoff said in a statement. They request that their desire for privacy and closure be respected.

No further details on the settlement were provided.

In her lawsuit filed last year, Blythe Brown called her ex-husbands behavior unlawful and egregious and accused the bestselling author of secretly diverting funds to pay for gifts to an unnamed horse trainer.

Blythe Brown also claimed credit for inspiring much of his work and coming up with the premise for The Da Vinci Code. She also alleged that Brown hid scores of future projects worth millions from her, including a television series as well as a childrens book.
