The ancient order of the Knights Templar possessed untold wealth and absolute power over kings and popes . . . until the Inquisition, when they were wiped from the facial skin of the earth, their hidden riches lost. But now two forces vying for the treasure have discovered that it's never what they thought it was–and its true nature could change today's world.
Cotton Malone, onetime top operative for the U.S. Justice Department, is enjoying his quiet new lease of life when an urgent proactive approach reawakens his hair-trigger instincts–and plunges him back to the cloak-and-dagger world he thought he’d left out.
It begins with a violent robbery attempt on Cotton’s former supervisor, Stephanie Nelle, who’s definately not home on a mission that has nothing to do with national security. Armed with essential clues to a series of centuries-old puzzles scattered across Europe, she means to crack a mystery that has tantalized scholars and fortune hunters through the ages by locating the legendary cache of wealth and forbidden knowledge considered to have been lost forever when the order of the Knights Templar was exterminated in the fourteenth century. But she’s not by yourself. Competing for the historic prize–and in need of the crucial information Stephanie possesses–is Raymond de Roquefort, a shadowy zealot with an army of assassins at his command.
At the end of an lethal game of conquest, rife with intrigue, treachery, and craven lust for power, lies a shattering discovery that can rock the civilized world–and, in the wrong hands, take it to its knees.
