But now two forces vying for the treasure  have learned that it is not at all what they thought it was—and its true nature could  change the modern world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Cotton Malone, one-time top operative for the U.S. Justice  Department, is enjoying his quiet new life as an antiquarian book dealer in Copenhagen  when an unexpected call to action reawakens his hair-trigger instincts—and plunges  him back into the cloak-and-dagger world he thought he’d left behind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It begins  with a violent robbery attempt on Cotton’s former supervisor, Stephanie Nelle, who’s far from home on a mission that has nothing to do with national security. Armed  with vital clues to a series of centuries-old puzzles scattered across Europe, she  means to crack a mystery that has tantalized scholars and fortune-hunters through  the ages by finding the legendary cache of wealth and forbidden knowledge thought  to have been lost forever when the order of the Knights Templar was exterminated  in the fourteenth century. But she’s not alone. Competing for the historic prize— and desperate for the crucial information Stephanie possesses—is Raymond de Roquefort,  a shadowy zealot with an army of assassins at his command. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Welcome or not, Cotton  seeks to even the odds in the perilous race. But the more he learns about the ancient  conspiracy surrounding the Knights Templar, the more he realizes that even more than  lives are at stake. At the end of a lethal game of conquest, rife with intrigue,  treachery, and craven lust for power, lies a shattering discovery that could rock  the civilized world—and, in the wrong hands, bring it to its knees.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":50147537486128,"sku":"BDawh6","price":24.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/awh6-Square-cover.jpg?v=1770076614","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-awh6","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
