In The Last Templar, did you enjoy ...
... a relentless, clue-driven quest for a Templar secret across Europe that puts heroes on a collision course with history and the Church?
The Templar Legacy by Steve Berry
If what hooked you in The Last Templar was Tess Chaykin and Sean Reilly racing from the Met’s four horsemen raid into a high-stakes hunt for the Templars’ buried truth, you’ll love how Cotton Malone is pulled into a breakneck chase for the Order’s ultimate secret. Like the Vatican pressure that dogs Tess and Reilly, Malone’s pursuit slams him into shadowy Church interests, encoded manuscripts, and perilous standoffs in old-world strongholds. It delivers that same mission-focused momentum where every deciphered clue snaps the story forward.
... a breathless, action-heavy relic hunt entangled with Church history and ruthless adversaries?
Map of Bones by James Rollins
You sped through the Met gala horseback raid and the globe-trotting chases that followed in The Last Templar; Map of Bones kicks off with an audacious cathedral heist and never lets up. SIGMA Force tears across Europe and the Middle East, decoding arcane clues tied to sacred relics while outpacing assassins and secret orders—echoing Tess and Reilly’s frantic sprints between digs, archives, and Vatican pressure points.
... Vatican power struggles, historical cover-ups, and espionage converging around explosive Church secrets?
The Confessor by Daniel Silva
If you were drawn to the Vatican operatives and ecclesiastical maneuvering that hem in Tess Chaykin and Sean Reilly during their Templar pursuit, The Confessor dives even deeper. Gabriel Allon is pulled into a plot where papal politics, hidden archives, and a dangerous cabal collide—mirroring the way The Last Templar threads historical scandal with present-day Church stakes.
... an art-and-symbol puzzle trail that unspools hidden religious history through cryptic clues and ciphers?
The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown
Hooked by Tess’s archaeological sleuthing after the Met robbery and the code-breaking that propels her and Agent Reilly from museum artifacts to ancient manuscripts? In The Da Vinci Code, Robert Langdon and Sophie Neveu follow meticulously layered anagrams, iconography, and historical riddles through Paris and beyond—capturing the same clue-by-clue investigative thrill that powered your favorite sequences in The Last Templar.
... medieval heresy, sacred texts, and faith-shaking revelations echoed across past and present?
Labyrinth by Kate Mosse
If the theological stakes of The Last Templar—where Tess and Reilly chase a discovery that could rattle the foundations of belief—kept you thinking, Labyrinth intertwines a modern archaeological find with a 13th-century secret tied to the Grail and the Cathars. As in Khoury’s novel, revelations from the past force contemporary characters to confront what faith means when history refuses to stay buried.
