You can try with some of the books that The Da Vinci Code is "inspired" on:
One is "The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail" by by Margaret Starbird, and the other is the superb "Foucault's Pendulum" by Umberto Eco (an example of great literature, as opposed to the bestseller itself, IMHO).
But I have to warn you, "Foucault's Pendulum" is a dense complicated book, and it's not an easy read even if it's fascinating.
If you're more interested in the style, then Dan Brown's earlier novel "Angels and Demons" might be the thing for you.

Dan Brown's 'Angels & Demons' and 'Virtual Fortress'.
Kate Mosse's 'Labyrinth' and 'Sepulchre'.

I strongly recommend Angels and Demons, also by Dan Brown.

Labryinth by Kate Mosse was a fantastic book it talks about a lot of the same ideas as the da vinci code and has a lot of the same symbolisms used in it i would definitly recommend that and the First lamentation i cant remember off the top of my head who wrote it but again a very good book wrote like the da vinci code but it has more of a story to it it is about a nazi who escaped having to go to prison and he ends up in a priory seeking parley from the priests there but has a whole other side to the story also wont say to much to give the plot away but definitly worth a read

Jack Du Brul, Clive Cussler and James Rollins are good. I've read Brown's books (Digital Fortress is still waiting for me), and while I enjoy his stuff, the other three authors I mentioned tell better stories in the same or similar genre. At least, that's my humble opinion.

Books by Tom Robbins, specifically Skinny Legs and All. Robbins has a much more dynamic writing style than Brown.
