I loved this series. I can't wait to read the next book

Although this is another book by these authors using Freemasonry as a theme it is still a good read with some action.

“Da Vinci Code” meets “National Treasure” in “The Lafayette Sword.” With a very French touch in the storytelling, Eric Giacometti & Jacques Ravenne reminded me why I have always loved French literature.

Hard to put down once started, Giacometti and Ravenne bring readers back to medieval France and then switches viewpoint to the modern cities of the world. It is hard to write a synopsis without revealing the plot. Let me just say that Antoine Marcas is not your everyday hero but he is an unforgettable character. You go through the journey with him. You feel what he feels, you see what he sees.

A must-read book for mystery/thriller fans. It should be in your bookshelf!

“The Lafayette Sword” is Rated T for Teens due to violence.

Much better than several other similar books out there.
