The Templar Legacy

Enjoying a quiet life in Copenhagen, Cotton Malone, onetime top operative for the U.S. Justice Department, is suddenly plunged back into the cloak-and-dagger world by his former supervisor, Stephanie Nelle. Armed with vital clues to a series of centuries-old puzzles scattered across Europe, Stephanie means to find the legendary cache of wealth and forbidden knowledge thought to have been lost forever when the Knights Templar were exterminated in the fourteenth century. Competing for the historic prize is Raymond de Roquefort, a shadowy zealot with an army of assassins at his command. Welcome or not, Cotton seeks to even the odds in the treacherous race. But at the end lies a discovery that could rock the civilized world-and, in the wrong hands, bring it to its knees.
