Before My Time Antiques and the Garden of Eat'n

Dan Brown's novels are set in a 24 hour period and feature the recurring themes of cryptography, keys, symbols, codes, and conspiracy theories.
Brown's novels that feature the lead character Robert Langdon also include historical themes and Christianity as motifs.

What Is Lost ... Will Be Found.
The Lost Symbol is a masterstroke of storytelling - a deadly race through a real-world labyrinth of codes, secrets, and unseen truths ... all under the watchful eye of Brown's most terrifying villain to date. Set within the hidden chambers, tunnels, and temples of Washington D.C., The Lost Symbol accelerates through a startling landscape toward an unthinkable finale.
As the story opens, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned unexpectedly to deliver an evening lecture in the U.S. Capitol building. Within minutes of his arrival, however, the night takes a bizarre turn."

"Harry Bosch first encountered Anneke Jespersen in a dark alley. She'd been shot, execution-style, on one of the most notorious nights in Los Angeles history, a night when the city burned and the police protected no one. Anneke carried a journalist's credentials, and Bosch assumed she had come to the center of the riots in search of a story. In the wake of the smoke and chaos, his investigation was reassigned and went nowhere. Jesperson's murder was never solved.
... What really brought her to Los Angeles? Was her own drive for justice a match for Bosch's? And in a new age, will Bosch find the "black box," the one piece of evidence that pulls the case together and makes justice possible at last?"
