Book 1
When a Vatican exhibit attended by archaeologist Tess Chaykin is stormed by four masked horsemen dressed as Templar Knights who steal a particular artifact, FBI anti-terrorist specialist Sean Reilly teams up with Tess for an investigation.
Book 2
In 325 AD, the oligarchs of the early Christian Church assembled in Nicaea. Their aim? To codify, organise and approve the tenets of the rapidly growing new faith. To separate heresy from truth and sin from faith. To collect and formalise the Bible itself. All records of the deliberations were lost or destroyed and their secrets removed from history. For a while at least. For, one controversial heretic Islamic group - the 'hashashin' - got hold of the trove of these documents. They swiftly realised the enormous power of this knowledge and were determined to wield it for their own ends. Together with another renegade organisation - the Templar Knights - they proposed to destroy the power of the Catholic Church forever. For without the faith of the masses, what would be left? But they failed and - along with the Templars - were hunted down and brutally destroyed. But the treasure trove survived and now one man knows where to find it...
Book 3
Sean Reilly and Tess Chaykin, the heroes of Raymond Khoury's New York Times bestselling Templar novels, return in an edge-of-your-seat thriller that reaches from the present day back to 1700s Mexico—and beyond…
What if there was a drug, previously lost to history in the jungles of Central America, capable of inducing an experience so momentous—and so shocking—that it might shake the very foundations of Western civilization?
What if powerful forces on both sides of the law launched a ruthless, no-holds-barred pursuit to get their hands on it?
What if FBI agent Sean Reilly and archaeologist Tess Chaykin were the only ones who could stop the unthinkable from happening?
And what if they’re already too late?

Book 4
When reports come in of a suicide jump from an apartment in Queens, FBI agent Sean Reilly wonders why he's been called to the scene. Things soon become clear when he learns that the dead man is a Russian diplomat and the elderly couple who live there, Leo and Della Sokolov, have disappeared. What Reilly still doesn't understand is who would want to attack two old, and seemingly blameless, people in their own home. As the hunt for the missing couple escalates, it seems that it's not only the FBI who is looking for Leo. Another man, a Russian operative, is hot on Sokolov's tail. Now the race is on to find Leo and Della; figure out what is going on; and get to the bottom of a decades old mystery with the power to kill. Meanwhile, Reilly is also fighting a personal battle. He has vowed to find the man responsible for attacking his four-year-old son, and he's about to discover that chasing a CIA ghost is nearly as an impossible and deadly task as stopping an elite Russian hitman.
