🔽 Book review 🔽

After reading Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum, I was searching to read more about the Templars, and here it was, I found it in a charity shop so why not.

In present day New York after the 9.11, a strange "knights" on horses stole treasures of Vatican from Metropolitan Museum, including a device to solve Templar's mystery.
We follow an archeologist Tess and FBI agent Sean, who chase the unsolved mystery of Templars.

Of course we can't compare it to Umberto Eco, but it's entertaining and gripping for sure.
