Bought with the two Steve Berry ones - it was a good day. The synopsis:
"In 1291, a young Templar knight flees the fallen Holy Land, setting out to sea with a mysterious chest entrusted to him by the Order's dying grand master. The ship vanishes without a trace. In present-day Manhattan, four masked horsemen dressed as Templar Knights stage a bloody raid on the Metropolitan Museum of Art during an exhibit of Vatican treasures. Emerging with a strange geared device, they disappear into the night. The investigation that follows draws an archaeologist and an FBI agent into the dark, hidden history of the crusading knights - and into a deadly game of cat and mouse with ruthless killers - as they race across three continents to recover the lost secret of the Templars."

Well, I'm not going to finish this. I've read 130 pages and I just can't get into it. The writing is shoddy, the plotlines stale. It's disappointing.
On its way to Canada as a surprise birthday RABCK for aunt-sophie!

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
RELEASE NOTES: Another Da Vinci Code wannabe... I found this average for the same reasons as the Code (you saw things coming a million miles ahead), but it was an okay read on vacations, to kill time on the bus and plane... I left it somewhere in Berlin. Hopefully someone there will find it and enjoy it more...
(P.S.: I deleted the previous entry by mistake, but I got this book back in late April.)
