Synopsis
From Templar Knights to Mexican drug cartels, Tom Knox returns with an electrifying new novel
Journalist Adam Blackwood is chasing down the story of a lifetime—the world’s foremost Templar historian has committed suicide in Edinburgh, leaving behind a tantalizing clue about a secret object hidden in the famous chapel of Rosslyn that will connect to Templar sites throughout Europe, North Africa, and South America.
Meanwhile in Peru, anthropologist Jess Silverton is researching a bloodthirsty, sexually voracious ancient civilization that might have laid the foundations for both Judaism and Buddhism. Amid the turmoil of local gangs and corrupt drug corporations, she becomes entangled in a plot that spans continents and reaches across time. At the beating heart of the novel is a rare flower from the darkest regions of the Amazon that has the power to seduce and control all of mankind.

Reviews
In Knox’s latest thriller, an anthropologist and a journalist stumble upon a conspiracy that unravels a deadly secret involving the Templars. Adam Blackwood writes fluff pieces for a newspaper. When a noted historian tells him something shocking and then kills himself a few minutes later, Blackwood smells a story without a hint of fluff. The historian’s daughter asks for his help because she knows her father’s death was not suicide. In Peru, anthropologist Jess Silverton uncovers a sealed tomb that appears to be built by the Moche, an ancient civilization that practiced gruesome sacrifice. The two worlds collide, and what is eventually uncovered connects to a string of murders in which the victims were beheaded. But are these murders really suicides? Knox weaves a compelling, violent tale, peppered with plenty of sex, that will appeal to ancient conspiracy fans comfortable with the graphic content. --Jeff Ayers
