FBI Agent Sean Reilly must do whatever it takes to secure the release of his lover, Tess Chaykin, when she's kidnapped by a terrorist determined to find the religious documents contained in three large chests taken and hidden by the last of the Templar Knights in 1203. The important documents are believed to be the Fondo Templari, the surreptitious history of the Templars. But could the chests contain even more secrets? It's a race against time and the elements as Sean pursues this deadly enemy, who is leaving a long trail of dead bodies in his wake as the quest intensifies.
Khoury transports readers to the Middle East in another exciting arcane thriller about the Templars and their hidden treasures. Sean and Tess were introduced four years ago in the best-selling THE LAST TEMPLAR, which was also made into a television movie. It's assured that this installment should sell as well as the first novel.
At last, the book more than a million fans are waiting
for: the sequel to The Last Templar.
With its iconic title and unmistakable cover, Raymond
Khoury's million-copy-selling The Last Templar
remains one of the most memorable thriller publications of
the last decade. Finally, after four long years, Khoury
returns to the world of the Templars with The Templar
Salvation, a sequel that's every bit as eye-popping and
as gripping as its predecessor.
Constantinople, 1203: As the rapacious armies of the Fourth
Crusade lay siege to the city, a secretive band of Templars
infiltrate the imperial library. Their target: a cache of
documents that must not be allowed to fall into the hands
of the Doge of Venice. They escape with three heavy chests,
filled with explosive secrets that these men will not live
long enough to learn.
Vatican City, present day: FBI agent Sean Reilly infiltrates
the Pope's massive Vatican Secret Archives of the
Inquisition. No one but the Pope's trusted secondi
get in - but Reilly has earned the Vatican's trust, a trust
he has no choice but to violate. His love, Tess Chaykin, has
been kidnapped; the key to her freedom lays in this
underground tomb, in the form of a document known as the
Fondo Templari, a secret history of the infamous
Templars...
With his trademark blend of incendiary history and edge-of-
your-seat suspense, Raymond Khoury's The Templar
Salvation marks a triumphant return to the rich
territory that launched his bestselling career.
