Description:

An electrifying thriller about the rise of extremism. Two slayings—one in Rome and one in Jerusalem—rekindle an ancient rivalry between modern-day secret societies for knowledge lost at the fall of the Third Reich. Detective Antoine Marcas unwillingly teams up with the strong-willed Jade Zewinski to chase Neo-Nazi assassins across Europe. They must unravel an arcane Freemason mystery, sparked by information from newly revealed KGB files. Inspired from the true story of mysterious Freemason files thought to hold a terrible secret, stolen by the SS in 1940, recovered by the Red Army in 1945 and returned half a century later.



Rating: 1 star (Did Not Finish)

Review:

Although this has a very interesting premise about stolen documents that have a connection to the Freemasons, it was the slow pace, boring characters and monotonous feel of the story that made this a Did Not Finish for me.

Perhaps this is a really good but I was not able to connect with it. So in the end I'll just say this wasn't for me.
