The Templar Conspiracy is the fourth in Paul Christopher's electrifying John Holliday series.
The ruthless reign of a secret power must be stopped . . .
In Rome, the public assassination of the Pope by a sniper on Christmas Day sets off a massive investigation that stretches across the globe. But behind the veil of Rex Deus - the Templar cabal that silently wields power in the twenty-first century - the plot has only just begun.
The cabal has a position of ultimate control in its sights - and its head, Kate Sinclair, is never going to yield her one great ambition for her US senator son, Richard Pierce Sinclair.
When ex-Army Ranger John Holliday uncovers the true motive behind the Pontiff's murder, he must unlock the secrets of a modern Templar conspiracy - and unravel Kate Sinclair's deadly design.

—— www.sugarscape.comThis book was one of those that I just couldn’t put down, and despite its size I found it to be a really quick read. The characters were all so different and yet still fit together in their own way, and I was truly shocked by some of the events. I loved the fact that the book wasn’t too teenage despite taking place in a high school, as the characters have genuine problems to overcome with each trying to find their own way to cope with their powers. A great read, I’m really looking forward to book two!
