FBI agent Sean Reilly and archaeologist Tess Chaykin, heroes of Raymond Khoury's bestselling Templar novels, return in another edge-of-your-seat thriller that reaches from present day back to 1700s Mexico - and possibly beyond.What if there was a natural drug, previously lost to history in the jungles of Central America, capable of inducing an experience so momentous - and so unsettling - that it might shake the very foundations of Western civilization?What if powerful forces on both sides of the law got wind of that drug and launched a vicious, uncompromising pursuit to possess it?In Raymond Khoury's million-copy-selling Templar novels, Reilly and Tess traveled the globe to unravel ancient mysteries with present-day ramifications. In The Devil's Elixir, they find themselves dragged into a race - against the clock, against a brutal drug kingpin known as "El Brujo" - the sorcerer - and even against government authorities - to merge two divergent trails, one several hundred years old, the other as current as a heartbeat, that could drag humanity to the brink of self-destruction.

Khoury brings back Sean Reilly and his girlfriend, Tess Chaykin, in another round of mayhem in his popular Templar series. Michelle Martinez, Reilly’s former girlfriend, calls him in a panic. She and her son were attacked in their home and barely escaped with their lives. Reilly runs to her side. Soon he discovers a conspiracy involving distribution of an ancient Mexican drug. Reilly can’t utilize his FBI resources because the people out to get Martinez and her son may have connections inside the bureau and the DEA. This is a fast-paced thrill-ride, in which bullets fly with abandon. Knowledge of prior Reilly and Chaykin books is not necessary to enjoy the fun. Though the twists are a bit predictable, and the book’s title is a bit misleading, these are minor nits to pick in a fine thriller to start the new year with. A sure bet for fans of Steve Berry and James Rollins, too. --Jeff Ayers
