About this audiobook
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.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I was looking for a good clean crime novel in a historical setting. Instead I got yet another novel about archaeological drug and sex cults which seem to be a kind of perverse and unpleasant genre which has sprung up. It may have fewer swear words than most modern crime novels, but it still leaves one feeling sick and sullied. Definitely not good clean adventure so be warned!
