Like Dan Brown? Try. . .

If you've just finished Dan Brown's newest audiobook (The Lost Symbol) and want more books like it, here are a couple of great choices:

Steve Berry's Cotton Malone series feature a former US Justice Department agent who gets pulled into murder investigations involving the Templars, Alexander the Great, and other historical figures and conspiracies.

Listen to The Templar Legacy first, then The Alexandria Link, The Venetian Betrayal, and The Charlemagne Pursuit. (But don't worry if you read them out of order--you won't miss anything crucial). They're great thrillers for people who want a little international intrigue with their mysteries!

Check out http://www.steveberry.org for more info on the author and his books.

Daniel Silva is another great option for Dan Brown fans--his Gabriel Allon series revolves around an art restorer who is also a retired member of the Israeli Secret Service. His former job comes back to him in the form of Palestinian terrorists and mysteries dating back to World War II, as he travels all over the world.

The order of the series is: Kill Artist (unfortunately out of print on CD), The English Assassin, The Confessor, A Death in Vienna, Prince of Fire, The Messenger, The Secret Servant, Moscow Rules, and The Defector.
