I want to get a Christmas gift for my friend and he loves Dan Brown books. The problem is that he has read them all. Any suggestions?

Raymond Khoury, Chris Kuzneski, Steve Berry or maybe even Matthew Reilly the best thriller writer on the planet today, in my humble opinion.

Dan Brown Writing Style

If you like Dan Brown then another author I would suggest is Arturo Perez-Reverte. "The Flanders Panel" and "The Club Dumas" have the same sort of mystery puzzle style as "The Da Vinci Code." If you like that aspect of it, you might also like Katherine Neville's works such as "The Eight" or Umberto Eco's works such as "The Name of the Rose." Reviewers have taken to saying that Neville, Eco, and Brown make a trio of good reading. If you like one of those authors, you will probably like the other two. Some other books you might like are "The Dante Club" and "The Poe Shadow" by Matthew Pearl and "The Rule of Four" by Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason. All of these books basically follow the same theme of a race to solve a puzzle by following scattered clues and they are all very well written.

Try Steve Berry. He also has several books with similar historical conspiracy plotlines, such as The Amber Room, The Third Secret, The Templar Legacy, etc. He's pretty good.

One of the best ways to find books similar to style/theme/genre of an author is go to Amazon.com, click on one of the author's books and scroll down to the section that reads, "Customers who bought this item also bought:" and it provides a list of books that are usually similar to the original book/author.

James Rollins has a e book spoke of as "The Map of Bones." that's meant to be a trilogy and deals with a non secular artifact and the suspense that surrounds it. I study it conceal to conceal in approximately 5 hours. additionally Douglas Preston and Lincoln toddler's books are incredible! The Relic, Mount Dragon, Reliquary, Riptide, Thunderhead, The Ice decrease, cabinet of Curiosities, nevertheless existence With Crows, Brimstone, and Dance of dying. those with Agent Pendergast in them are the main suitable of the bunch, cabinet of Curiosities in specific.

His books are rather boring...
Try buying your friend movie versions of the books! Or try getting your friend the movie: Lady in the Water.
They sound rather similar to me except that Dan Brown's take place in places that are much more beautiful.
