Welcome to Paradise

Before mild-mannered furniture salesman Al Tuschman left New Jersey for a week in Key West, he hadn't an enemy in the world. But a series of puzzling assaults on his privacy, his sanity, and his life has turned his stay at the tasteful Paradise Hotel into Tropical Hell. Maybe it's the humidity. Maybe the Sambuca. Or maybe it's the nickname emblazoned on his license plate: Big Al. For Big Al Marracotta, Mafia capo, a Florida getaway means outrunning a career in crime and rancid calamari. For Katy Sansone it's a bid for sunshine and self-respect--until a case of mistaken identity pits the confused woman against a bafflement of Als and more danger than any one of them had reason to pack for. Now, if Tuschman doesn't watch his back, somebody's going to be reporting the death of another salesman. . . .

Just days before an international medical convention begins, terrorists abduct a leading scientist from the Centers for Disease Control, the shadowy laboratories that serve as America's first line of defense against bio-chemical annihilation. Locked away in his head are secrets critical to America's security...and possibly knowledge of a new, terrifying, and incurable illness that could wipe out millions. Only one government agency has the know-how, the equipment, and the sheer guts to find out what happened before apocalyptic plague consumes the world's democracies: the National Security Agency. Returning from the first DEEP BLACK, ex-Marine sniper Charlie Dean pairs with former Delta Force trooper Lia DeFrancesca to pick up where the missing scientist left off, with Dean actually assuming his identity and faking his way through the conference. From there, mysterious contacts direct them through a gauntlet of assassins and booby-trapped villas, to a ruthless international consortium determined to hold the world hostage with the killer virus. Meanwhile, another agent is on the scientist's trail, blazing through the dense, deadly south-east Asian jungles where he disappeared. Caught in a rebel ambush and wounded in an explosive helicopter duel, he'll have to coordinate with Dean and DeFrancesca to stay alive and to save the world from annihilation.

"It has served us well, this myth of Christ." —Pope Leo X, 16th Century  In a hail of fire and flashing sword, as the burning city of Acre falls from the hands of the West in 1291, The Last Templar opens with a young Templar knight, his mentor, and a handful of others escaping to the sea carrying a mysterious chest entrusted to them by the Order’s dying Grand Master. The ship vanishes without a trace.  In present day Manhattan, four masked horsemen dressed as Templar Knights emerge from Central Park and ride up the Fifth Avenue steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art during the blacktie opening of a Treasures of the Vatican exhibit. Storming through the crowds, the horsemen brutally attack anyone standing between them and their prize. Attending the gala, archaeologist Tess Chaykin watches in silent terror as the leader of the horsemen hones in on one piece in particular, a strange geared device. He utters a few cryptic Latin words as he takes hold of it with reverence before leading the horsemen out and disappearing into the night.  In the aftermath, an FBI investigation is led by anti-terrorist specialist Sean Reilly. Soon, he and Tess are drawn into the dark, hidden history of the crusading Knights, plunging them 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.
