From New York Times bestselling author Raymond Khoury comes a blistering new Reilly & Tess thriller, published exclusively as a Kindle ebook.
TO AVENGE HIS PAST, HE HAS TO RISK HIS FUTURE
While tracking down the men behind a DarkNet marketplace where everything, even murder, is available for barter, FBI Special Agent Sean Reilly crosses paths with a man who claims to know the truth about the death of Reilly’s father, back when Reilly was ten.
A death that had been considered a suicide—until now.
In chasing after the potentially devastating revelations about that hidden past, Reilly awakens other dormant monsters—a cabal of assassins whose unusual methods have escaped detection for decades, whose victims have spanned continents, and whose leaders would rather remain hidden in the shadows. At any cost.
Watched, manipulated, and framed for crimes he didn't commit, Reilly becomes a fugitive, making it next to impossible for him to uncover the truth while protecting his family. He's left with no choice but to risk everything to unearth secrets that would shake the country to its core—if he were ever allowed to get that far.
Read THE END GAME and dive into Reilly’s most personal—and most dangerous—story yet.

An insanely fast paced thriller that includes breathtaking twists and jaw-dropping bombshells on practically every page, Khoury's conspiracy-laden debut -- a blend of historical fiction, suspense, romance, and wild religious speculation -- will open up a can of existential worms that will be all but impossible to close ... The highly volatile subject matter discussed within The Last Templar will spark endless hours of heated debate -- and the conclusion (oh, the brilliant conclusion!) will leave readers absolutely dumbstruck."
--Paul G Allen, Barnes & Noble Editor on The Last Templar
"Any reader encountering The Last Templar will want 1) a film version, and 2) more novels from Khoury, not necessarily in that order. Recommended."
