The Templar Legacy

About the book

The Knights Templar, once holding immense wealth and authority over kings and popes, met their downfall during the Inquisition, losing their hidden riches in the process. Now, two factions competing for this treasure have discovered that it holds a secret that could drastically alter the modern world.

Cotton Malone, a former operative of the U.S. Justice Department, has settled into a peaceful life as a dealer of rare books in Copenhagen. However, a sudden call to action thrusts him back into the world of espionage and danger that he believed he had left behind.

It all begins with a violent attack on Cotton's old boss, Stephanie Nelle, who is on a quest across Europe to solve ancient puzzles and uncover the fabled wealth and knowledge lost when the Knights Templar were eradicated. But she is not alone in this pursuit. Raymond de Roquefort, a mysterious fanatic with a legion of killers under his command, is also determined to obtain the information Stephanie possesses.

Reluctantly, Cotton enters the race to thwart his adversaries and secure the historical treasure. As he delves deeper into the secrets of the Knights Templar, he realizes that the stakes are higher than he ever imagined. With intrigue, betrayal, and a thirst for power driving the lethal competition, a shocking revelation awaits at the end of this dangerous game—one that could have devastating consequences for the world if it falls into the wrong hands.
