Lewis Perdue is an excellent, though little known, writer who came to national attention when he sued Random House and author Dan Brown over the similarities between Brown's Da Vinci Code and Perdue's Daughter Of God. Anyone who has ever read Brown's book should read Perdue's and compare the two. Another book that Perdue wrote that he claims Brown pirated is the Da Vinci Legacy which he wrote in 1984. Two more recent books in which Perdue explores headline issues are Slatewiper and Perfect Killer, both political thrillers.
