Very interesting, particularly in light of Brown's<a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/32851079#32855936" rel="nofollow"> interview on the Today show</a> in which he talks about how careful he is to be accurate! Of course it IS fiction, after all. And if it does for D.C. tourism what it did for Florence and Rome--<em>Look out</em>. Stephanie: Thanks for the link to the Slate Article.

At least according to this Slate article: http://www.slate.com/id/2228587/. I think people in DC are generally not thrilled with his book but so it goes. I'm trying to think of any non-political thrillers set in DC but failing. I have an anthology of DC Noir edited by George Pelicanos which is kind of cool. .-= Stephanie´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/twenty-somethingtravel/bFAM/~3/_ILv_eqEj-A/" rel="nofollow">My Blog Post at Maiden Voyage</a> =-.

And I agree--kudos to the tourism office!
