He last wrote about a Masonic conspiracy, and I'm bored... Mormon conspiracy - now that's interesting.

Joseph Smith was heavily involved with the Freemasons. So not too surprising that Masonic and Mormon temple rites are almost identical. Masonic symbols adorn the mormon temple. Masonic square and compass adorn the magic underwear and some Joseph Smith's last words just before being shot by a mob were "Oh, Lord, my God... Is there no help for the widow's son?"....a masonic call for help....presumambly hoping that some of the mob my have been free masons.

If he went with 'The Seer's Stone' I can understand some infringement objection by the folks holding the copyrights to the Harry Potter stuff.

"Mormons really believe this." in flashing red letters.

Or, maybe Dan Brown ought to take on Scientology or the Republican party, or something.

Bright, flashing red letters, "Republicans really believe this!"
