"“Dan Brown took huge elements from my book. Of course everybody can write about Opus Dei and have copyright protection, but in both The Vatican Boys and The Da Vinci Code the head of the Opus Dei hires a mercenary to find them a relic so that he can become the most powerful man in Christendom,” Dunn said.
The similarities that Dunn alleges range from the beginning of both books, where a member of a secret brotherhood is murdered because they know a secret about the Catholic Church, to the climax in the novels occurring at Opus Dei House in London where the head of Opus Dei flies in on a private jet from Rome in search of a relic.
Dunn, a practising Catholic, did not include a relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene in The Vatican Boys, unlike in The Da Vinci Code. But he said, “Dan Brown works to a Da Vinci Code formula, but it’s my formula.”
Dunn is a businessman as well as a writer and was put in touch with media lawyer Jonathan Coad at Keystone Law via a mutual acquaintance he met at a trade show in Germany last November."
