Please nominate (or vote for) your favorite novels that are set, at least in part, in Washington, D.C., or in the D.C. suburbs.

Please make sure they are novels rather than non-fiction. Also, although they can be political, please help this homesick list-maker by racking your brain for some that are not political. If you love a whole series set in D.C., please just nominate the first in the series.
