About this ebook

The most precious prize of them all...

While deciphering what few clues they have managed to recover about the Templar’s secrets, Jessop and Mallory make a discovery about their legendary treasure. Rather than gold or jewels, the long-sought prize may be something far more valuable: information.

For the Templars were the original inventors of international banking. Lands, titles and the fates of entire noble houses were placed in their keeping. The records of such transactions, though centuries old, may possibly yield the greatest wealth in the world.

But hunting for such an archive places Jessop and Mallory in the crosshairs of Europe's most powerful families...

A breakneck conspiracy thriller perfect for fans of Mario Reading, Iain King and Scott Mariani.

The premise of this book seemed promising but the author has not delivered. The story gets too lost in the author's "showing off" of his knowledge of the Templars through a character whose knowledge of this is rather implausible. The book irritatingly over-explains things like "the use of Google being so popular it is used as a verb" but then assumes knowledge of mediaeval history and European geography. I overlooked these annoyances in book 1 bit stopped reading book 2 half way through because I found it too boring.
