Try Sam Bourne.

His novels are sort of similar in style, scope and to a certain extent theme to Dan Brown's, but *much* better written and with infinitely better research behind them.

They first appeared (as far as I'm aware) when Dan Brown first was at the peak of his initial (sales) popularity. The covers of the paperback editions I have look similar to the Dan Brown books I have, and I suspect the visual similarities between the names of the authors may not be 100% coincidental. This might lead to an assumption that they at least started out as an attempt to cash in on Dan Brown's popularity; that might well be the case, but these books are much, much better.

Sam Bourne is a pseudonym for Jonathan Freedland, a well-known British "serious" journalist.
