This e-mailer knows how to get my attention:

I noticed the same mistake in The Lost Symbol. There are others, too. It probably comes out better on the whole, though, than 24—tunneling under the White House from the Potomac????
At any rate, can you recommend one or two other DC thrillers for me? (We’re buying The First Assassin for a couple of family members for Christmas!)

Two (other) great Washington thrillers: Shelley’s Heart by Charles McCarry and Seven Days in May by Fletcher Knebel and Charles W. Bailey II. A great novel of Washington politics: Advise and Consent by Allen Drury.
