En plena exposición de los tesoros del Vaticano en el Metropolitan Museum de Nueva York, un grupo de hombres a caballo, vestidos como caballeros templarios, irrumpe a sangre y fuego y se apodera de varias reliquias. Entre los asustados testigos está Tess Chaykin, una joven arqueóloga que enseguida sospecha de los verdaderos motivos del asalto. Uno de los objetos que se han llevado los asaltantes contiene la clave para sacar a la luz un secreto que permanece oculto desde que el último templario dejó Tierra Santa, llevando consigo un cargamento de incalculable poder. El mismo secreto que llenó de terror a la Iglesia y que precipitó la destrucción brutal de la Orden del Temple en 1312. Un misterio que cambiará completamente nuestro mundo si sale a la luz. Con la ayuda del curtido agente del FBI Sean Reilly, Tess se embarca en una carrera contra el tiempo para recuperar la reliquia antes de que sea demasiado tarde.

Work Description
With rights already sold in heated auctions in twenty-one countries, The Last Templar, Raymond Khoury's epic debut novel, is ready to thrill readers on these shores."It has served us well, this myth of Christ."—Pope Leo X, 16th CenturyIn a hail of fire and flashing sword, as the burning city of Jerusalem falls from the hands of the West in 1291, The Last Templar opens with a young Templar knight, his mentor, and a handful of others escaping to the sea carrying a mysterious chest entrusted to them by the Order's dying Grand Master. The ship vanishes without a trace.In present day Manhattan, four masked horsemen dressed as Templar Knights emerge from Central Park and ride up the Fifth Avenue steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art during the blacktie opening of a Treasures of the Vatican exhibit. Storming through the crowds, the horsemen brutally attack anyone standing between them and their prize. Attending the gala, archaeologist Tess Chaykin watches in silent terror as the leader of the horsemen hones in on one piece in particular, a strange geared device. He utters a few cryptic Latin words as he takes hold of it with reverence before leading the horsemen out and disappearing into the night.In the aftermath, an FBI investigation is led by anti-terrorist specialist Sean Reilly. Soon, he and Tess are drawn into the dark, hidden history of the crusading Knights, plunging them into a deadly game of cat and mouse with ruthless killers as they race across three continents to recover the lost secret of the Templars.
