Book Log 2006 #6: The Last Templar by Raymond Khoury
Another in the spate of post-Da Vinci books about the Templars and their ilk, this one involves a female archaeologist who is witness to an odd theft during a show of Vatican artwork. She winds up teamed with an FBI agent, who is not thrilled at her becoming more of a partner than a witness. They risk life and limb in a race against those who would like to reveal the secret of the Templars and bring down the modern Catholic church.
It's all pretty standard for the genre. Not as dopey as Da Vinci but not exactly crackling prose, either.

I may have read this. I'm not sure. But the whole subgenre makes me want to write a novel where the Templars are secretly evil.
