1291. La Terrasanta è perduta. Mentre i musulmani irrompono nella fortezza di Acri, seminando morte e distruzione, a quattro cavalieri Templari viene affidata una missione importantissima e segreta: portare lontano, oltre il mare, uno scrigno dal contenuto misterioso. Settecento anni dopo, all'inaugurazione di una mostra al Metropolitan Museum di New York, quattro imponenti cavalieri con le insegne dei Templari irrompono sulla scena e trafugano un oggetto descritto come "codificatore polifunzionale a rotori". Ma cos'è esattamente? Mentre l'FBI segue le piste più disparate, un cardinale rintraccia lo schema del marchingegno nell'Archivio Segreto del Vaticano... e capisce che non sarebbe mai dovuto uscire di lì.
At last, the highly anticipated sequel to The Last Templar arrives, captivating over a million fans. Raymond Khoury's previous work remains a standout in the thriller genre, and now, after four years, he returns with a gripping continuation. Set in Constantinople in 1203, the story unfolds as the Fourth Crusade's armies besiege the city. A clandestine group of Templars infiltrates the imperial library to secure vital documents that must not fall into the hands of the Doge of Venice. They escape with three chests filled with explosive secrets, knowledge that could prove fatal for them. Fast forward to present-day Vatican City, where FBI agent Sean Reilly gains access to the Pope's Vatican Secret Archives of the Inquisition, a privilege reserved for the Pope's trusted aides. Reilly's motivation is urgent; his love, Tess Chaykin, has been kidnapped, and the key to her freedom lies within these archives, specifically in a document known as the Fondo Templari, which holds a secret history of the Templars. With a masterful blend of historical intrigue and relentless suspense, Khoury's latest work promises to be a thrilling return to the rich narrative that launched his bestselling career.
Agent FBI Sean Reilly a archeologička a spisovateľka Tess Chaykinová – hlavné postavy thrilleru Posledný templár – sú späť. Tentoraz sa príbeh začína v Mexiku v osemnástom storočí a možno aj oveľa skôr a pokračuje v súčasnosti. Keď Reillymu zazvoní telefón, ozve sa hlas, ktorý nepočul už päť rokov. Nemôže ignorovať zúfalú prosbu o pomoc. A najmä dve slová, ktoré mu navždy zmenia život. Bez váhania sa vydá na cestu, aby pomohol priateľke, netuší však, že ho čaká neľútostný boj s časom, gangom únoscov a s krutým mexickým narkobarónom známym pod prezývkou El Brujo, Čarodejník. Pokúša sa sledovať dve odlišné stopy – jednu z dávnej minulosti a druhú z horúcej súčasnosti. Obidve vedú k záhadnej droge, ktorá vyvoláva v ľuďoch také ohromujúce zážitky, že by napokon mohla stiahnuť ľudstvo do víru bolesti a chaosu. Diablov elixír je nepochybne najosobnejší a najpútavejší príbeh, ktorý čitateľa udrží v napätí až do úplného konca. Je plný života, energie, ale aj krásnych charakterov a príťažlivých scén. Diela Raymonda Khouryho sú preložené do viac ako štyridsiatich jazykov, dlhodobo sa udržujú na rebríčkoch bestsellerov a celosvetové náklady kníh prekračujú 5 miliónov výtlačkov.
