Someone had suggested that I should read Steve Berry's books because they are like Dan's Brown's books. I decided to give Steve Berry a try once I finished reading the Dan Brown books on Overdrive. I'm glad I did. The first book really made me think. I finished reading The Templar Legacy by Steve Berry on Sunday night. It is the first book of his Cotton Malone series. There are 12 books in the series.
Unlike Robert Landon, Cotton Malone is not a professor of symbology. Cotton Malone is a former Justice Department operative. This book deals with the Templars and their lost treasure. Cotton's old boss gets in over her head when she pursues her husband's dream to find the Templar's treasure. Her husband killed himself because he could find the treasure. Her son "supposedly" died while trying to find the treasure. But he didn't die. He found the Templars and became one himself. They do find the treasure and her son becomes master of the Order.
I did put the second book on hold on Overdrive. Now I'm listening to City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare. It's the last book of the Shadowhunters series. It's a long book.

I've read that book; most of the series I think (is Steve Berry a 'her' - I seem to recall reading that somewhere. Might have been another Steve Berry though). I do have a lot of books with 'Templar' in the title; I'm currently reading The Templar's Code by C. M. Palov. The Templars are really popular in a certain type of fiction.

@JESSY3236 In retrospect, I think I was getting him confused with Steve Perry. Who writes science fiction.

Oh, what old age does to you. I saw the headline "The Templar Legacy" and immediately I thought of Simon Templar! (He was the primary character in a series of The Saint books, by Leslie Charteris, and later it became a TV show starring Roger Moore.)

I have never heard of this author. I should take a look at the book jackets.
