Rings of the Templars — B. Eugene Ellison

In the Rings of the Templars, Jim Kirkwood, a self-indulgent and at times unsympathetic profiteer, joins forces with the Chief of a Scottish Clan and a beautiful Archeologist in search of lost treasure in the snow-covered highlands of Scotland. Hidden for over five hundred years, the treasure reaches back into biblical times and contains truths that, if rediscovered, would unravel the fabric of the Christian era. Betrayals and lies attempts to derail his quest as the grave of an ancient Knight surrenders the encrypted keys setting the stage for deception, murder and the greatest archeological find of all times.
