If you loved how Crooked entwined Richard Nixon's political career with secret occult battles, you'll be delighted by Declare. Tim Powers crafts a gripping alternate history where British and Soviet spies vie not just against each other, but also against ancient supernatural powers hidden in the shadows of the Cold War. The protagonist, Andrew Hale, is drawn into a labyrinth of double-crosses and arcane secrets, making every political maneuver fraught with both mortal and mystical peril.

If Nixon's conflicted, compromised voice in Crooked fascinated you, you'll be hooked by Meyer Landsman in The Yiddish Policemen's Union. Chabon's noir detective, operating in an alternate-history Jewish Alaska, is as flawed and ambiguous as they come, wrestling with personal demons and ethical gray areas while investigating a murder that spirals into conspiracy and political stakes.

Did you love the sly, sardonic wit and clever dialogue that made Crooked so much fun? Good Omens brings you two celestial (and very British) agents—an angel and a demon—who banter, plot, and try desperately to avoid the apocalypse with a similar blend of dark humor and razor-sharp satire.

If you were captivated by Crooked's secret magical history of the presidency, you'll be enthralled by Clarke's meticulous portrayal of early 19th-century England where two magicians, Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, bring magic back to polite society. The book's detailed, immersive world-building and the way it weaves real historical events with a hidden magical undercurrent will scratch the same itch.

If you enjoyed Richard Nixon navigating secret cabals and eldritch threats in Crooked, you'll find Myfanwy Thomas's journey in The Rook equally gripping. She awakens with no memory, discovers she's part of a shadowy government agency dealing with supernatural phenomena, and must unravel both internal plots and her own identity—all with a blend of suspense, weirdness, and bureaucratic satire.
