Plenty of books imitating The Da Vinci Code, or at least in its style, are coming out by this spring. "Labyrinth," by Kate Mosse, features a rival sect to the Catholic church and a search for the Holy Grail. In "The Templar Legacy," a thriller by Steve Berry, a former government agent attempts to unravel a mystery about an order of knights whose power rivaled the Pope's. Matilde Asensi's "The Last Cato" features the head of the Vatican's secret archive and his efforts to solve a murder with clues dating back to biblical times. No indication whether they will be as anti-Catholic as The Da Vinci Code, but you can bet that's what's popular. Apparently publishers have been inundated with manuscripts in this genre. If anyone finds a good Catholic review of any of these, let me know.
