The Templar Tunnel

Some tests are life or death.

The Fourth Dan Kotler Novella

Archaeologist and occasional FBI consultant Dr. Dan Kotler—self-proclaimed trouble magnet—thought exploring a newly discovered Templar tunnel would be the perfect vacation. 

He was wrong.

When armed thieves seize control of the tunnel in search of its legendary hidden treasure, Kotler is thrust into an ancient rite of passage designed by the Knights Templar a thousand years ago: a deadly network of traps, trials, and secrets.

With no way out except forward, Kotler must rely on every ounce of his archaeological knowledge and quick wit to survive the Templar Initiate's Path.

A gripping archaeological thriller and fast-paced Templar adventure for fans of hidden treasure, Knights Templar mysteries, and the Dan Kotler series.

Can Kotler survive the Templar Initiate's Path?
