When a missing ancient manuscript is discovered in Rome, Lang Reilly sets out on a dangerous quest to London, Prague, and Rome to find those who would rather kill him than have him reveal its frightening contents. In the secret archives of the Vatican, an ancient Tibetan document has remained hidden to everyone but the highest authorities in the Catholic Church. Those authorities had long ago disposed of the Cathars, the religious sect who’d once attempted to spread the document’s heresies of reincarnation. Centuries later, a young boy’s bizarre flashbacks as an Auschwitz prisoner threaten to prove the document’s theory of reincarnation, shattering the faith of millions around the world. The Church will go to any lengths to protect the scrolls’ contents and stop the boy, Wynn-Three, from spreading its heresies. But someone else has beaten them to it with an agenda of their own: the boy’s flashbacks may help reveal a long-lost treasure, stashed by the Nazis for safekeeping. Kidnapping Wynn-Three, these criminals take him to the snowy slopes of Germany and Austria in hopes he will lead them to the loot. And ex-CIA agent Lang Reilly may be the only one who can track down his young neighbor, Wynn-Three. With criminals hot on his trail, Reilly races across Europe to rescue the boy. But if he can’t pull the missing pieces together and uncover the missing document, Wynn-Three—and the Church’s reputation—may both be lost to history. A fast-paced, intriguing thriller, The Cathar Secret enraptures from the controversial beginning until the shocking conclusion.

"Loomis deftly handles his historical subject matter with a seasoned hand, fashioning a classic spy thriller that reads like a hybred of Alistair MacLean and Graham Greene at their level bests. Solid in all respects." --The Providence Journal Was the Duchess of Windsor a murderer? Did the Duke cover up her nefarious deed? The real-life sensational murder of Sir Harry Oakes during World War II on Nassau while the Duke of Windsor was Governor General sets the stage for the eighth Lang Reilly thriller. In tracking the killer of a light-fingered researcher, Lang Reilly uncovers a secret society that would go to any lengths to protect the Royal Family, past and present. **

From Publishers WeeklyShortly after ex-spy Lang Reilly's sister dies in an explosion in her Paris home, a reproduction of a painting by the 17th-century artist Poussin, which his sister bought the day before she died and which includes an odd Latin inscription, disappears from Lang's home. With police and killers on his trail, Lang embarks on a journey to Italy to uncover the painting's secrets as well as its connection to his sister, enlisting the help of a former co-worker, the German killing-machine Gurt Fuchs. Somewhat dry excerpts from a medieval account of the Knights of the Temple punctuate the action, hinting that the mystery is more complex than Lang can imagine. The international setting and fast-paced action grip, and fortunately, Loomis's convincing protagonist possesses the intelligence and emotional depth to carry the reader through some unlikely scenarios (e.g., in an airport bathroom stall, Lang constructs a fake gun out of candy). Though the momentum sometimes lags, each scene is vivid enough to keep the reader engaged. Some may find the book's secret societies and art history themes a trifle unoriginal, but others looking to repeat The Da Vinci Code experience will be satisfied.
