If you like a bit of horror mixed up with fantasy try the new author Andrew P. Wright, "The Flame of Heaven". A noir historical/fantasy/ horror story. Very readable and fun.

Andrew,
I had not heard of The Flame of Heaven before but looking it over on Amazon, I'll definitely have to check it out. Besides being a cross-genre novel, it looks like the kind of book I'd give to somebody who loved The Da Vinci Code, yes?
