Dan Brown’s new best­seller, The Lost Sym­bol, is a con­spir­acy novel set in Wash­ing­ton, D.C., just like The Solomon Scan­dals. Brown even includes a power fig­ure with the last name of Solomon.

If you want to read about a “mys­ti­cal” Washington”—Brown’s por­trayal, as noted by David Plotz in Slate—then buy Sym­bol.

But if you care or also care for less ethe­real con­spir­a­cies, The Solomon Scan­dals might be of interest.
