The Scorpion Book 4: The Treasure of the Templars

By Stephen Desberg & Enrico Marino

Cinebook

Torture's the name of the game in this latest in The Scorpion saga. From those Trebaldi threatens for his own pleasure in the Vatacan to those whose fate is to have their heads hanging on poles in Jerusalem, the haunting memories of the inquisitor Rochnan and El Tarib's fear that he is the last judge alive to pay for those harrowing deeds.

Elsewhere, The Scorpion and his companions home in on the Templars treasure, fleeing more than fighting, but with treachery continuing apace, until in the dying moments of the book a clue is revealed that might cause Trebaldi's ruin.

A transitory tale more than a roaring saga in itself this one, but engaging nonetheless.
