In Peru, Jess Silverton is researching the mysterious
culture of the Moche. She suspects them of being far more
bloodthirsty than other archaeologists and anthropologists
believe based upon their artwork. Near Edinburgh, Adam
Blackwood is working on his last assignment for a newspaper
at Rosslyn Chapel when a famous Knights Templar historian
makes some cryptic statements to him and then commits
suicide. Meanwhile, in London, Detective Chief Inspector
Mark Ibsen has been assigned a gruesome case involving an
unusual death that has all the ear markings of a cult
killing. What secret links all of these events?
THE BABYLON RITE delves into a dark conspiracy that spans
across several different countries. Tom Knox shows us how
the lives of Jess, Adam, and Ibsen link together in a
horrifying conclusion. Some of the details are quite gory
although not unnecessarily so as we see once the secrets are
unveiled.
THE BABYLON RITE is a fast paced adventure that immediately
hooks the reader in and doesn't let go until the last page.
The story alternates chapters between the characters and I
had to resist skipping ahead to see what would happen next.
Tom Knox ramps up the tension as the story progresses to its
stunning and somewhat disturbing conclusion. Readers who
like their Knights Templar conspiracy theories dark and fast
paced will relish THE BABYLON RITE.
What terrible secret has driven the world’s foremost historian of the Knights Templar to kill himself? Journalist Adam Blackwood has just been handed the story of a lifetime: something is hidden in the famous Knights Templar chapel of Rosslyn that could unlock the greatest mystery of the medieval Templars—until the one man who could decipher the final clue commits a grotesque suicide. Adam sets out to learn why. In Peru, anthropologist Jess Silverton is researching the remnants of the Moche, a bloodthirsty, sexually voracious, lost Stone Age civilization. Amid the toxic turmoil of local gangs and corrupt politicians, her dogged pursuit for answers will lead Jess to cross paths with Adam as they unearth the ancient secret that enthralled the conquistadors, horrified the Church, and is threatening to reemerge—with catastrophic consequences.
