Acknowledgement

I would like to thank retired police sergeant Gary Marshall for his invaluable assistance and guidance on police policies, operations, and tactics. I would also like to thank Professor Richard Bigus, Alan Burns, and the Castles for their enormous help throughout the process. I’m indebted to the authors of countless books on the Templars, Islamic history, and Freemasons. Wayne, my son, has again designed a great book cover. I’m recovering his pricy art school tuition one book cover at a time. Most of all, I would like to thank my wife and muse Diane. She is my first, second and third draft editor. How tiresome that must be.

Finally, all errors are my own. I was unable to convince any of the above people to accept blame.

Thank You

If you enjoyed this book, then I would appreciate you posting a review and telling everyone you know. If you didn’t enjoy it … mum’s the word.
