I recommend John Twelve Hawks who has written an exciting trilogy about an evil brotherhood who wants to control the world in a Big Brother-like fashion using present-time technology and organizations, a small group fighting them and two clueless brothers in between. It's a good read and it makes you think twice about anonymity.

Jan Guillou is a Swedish author who has written a series of books starring a more or less Swedish James Bond (but with a bad conscience) and a trilogy about a man going to Jerusalem as a crusader and his life returning home.
I think Mr Guillou gives too much room for his own political opinions in his books, but like Dan Brown, he makes it really hard to put down the book.
