The Templar Secret
Ben Hope is a magnet for trouble. Years since leaving the SAS, he can still feel when danger is stalking him. But stumbling across someone researching the Knights Templar seems like a problem for historians rather than his military skills.
It’s only when a terrible twist of fate puts not just Ben but the people he loves in the firing line that he realises the battles of the past will soon wreak carnage in the present.
Faced with uncovering a mystery that strikes at the heart of Western civilisation, Ben might finally have unearthed the one secret that could take him down.

Scott Mariani
Before thriller fiction was his calling card, Scott Mariani spent years wandering through lives—academic, musical, and even monastic—before landing on the one that would stick: storyteller. Today, he’s best known for creating Ben Hope, a former elite soldier turned reluctant hero, whose globe-spanning exploits in The Alchemist’s Secret and its many successors have captured the imaginations of millions. But behind the action-packed plots and historical enigmas lies a writer drawn less to spectacle and more to why we fight, what we lose, and who we become in the process.
