  The search to expose the ancient - and deadly - secrets of Christianity continues in this stunning follow-up to The Last Templar...In 325 AD, the oligarchs of the early Christian Church assembled in Nicaea. Their aim? To codify, organise and approve the tenets of the rapidly growing new faith. To separate heresy from truth and sin from faith. To collect and formalise the Bible itself. All records of the deliberations were lost or destroyed and their secrets removed from history. For a while at least. For, one controversial heretic Islamic group - the 'hashashin' - got hold of the trove of these documents. They swiftly realised the enormous power of this knowledge and were determined to wield it for their own ends. Together with another renegade organisation - the Templar Knights - they proposed to destroy the power of the Catholic Church forever. For without the faith of the masses, what would be left? But they failed and - along with the Templars - were hunted down and brutally destroyed.

  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: In the Secret Archives of the Inquisition, to which no one but the Pope's most trusted secondi are allowed access, FBI agent Sean Reilly has no choice but to violate the trust he has earned. A vicious, uncompromising terrorist bent on revenge has kidnapped Tess Chaykin, and the key to her freedom lies in this underground crypt, in the form of a document unread for generations: the Registro Templari, a secret history of the infamous Templars that may reveal the explosive secret behind their centuries-old extermination-and in the process illuminate a lost corner of history and its colossal 21st century implications. As the bodies pile up, Reilly soon realizes that this is a foe unlike any he has battled before. An urgent, pulse-pounding manhunt will take him and Tess from Jordan to Vatican City, Istanbul and the otherwordly landscapes and underground cave-cities of Cappadoccia, Turkey, as they follow the bloodsoaked trail of their enemy.
