| Not sure he still lives in DC, but Christopher Buckley's books are funny and often set here. |

I went to West Springfield HS with Louis Bayard. He has written several works of fiction.
Margaret Truman (Daughter of Harry and Bess Truman) has written several novels based in DC |

Pelecanos is my favorite. I also enjoyed the Eliot Holt book mentioned by PP.

| Madison Smartt Bell's trilogy on the Haitian Revolution is great. He's a professor at Goucher. |

David Ignatius - WashPost columnist. Writes good thrillers.
I liked The Increment best. Had mixed feelings about The Director, which I think is his most recent. |

| Eric Andreas, dc attorney and geologist. His book is called "origins rising" I think. Fabulous read, sci fi, and I hope he writes a sequel. |

| OP here. Thanks for recs! I bought & read Elliott Holt's book in three days - awesome read. And good representation of the area in that time period (I'm around the same age & grew up here too). |
