The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail by Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh, Henry Lincoln
4.0
Oh man, I forgot how much I loved this book. Seminal text for the nutters.
Without giving TOO much away, this is an "expose" starting with Rennes-le-Chateau in Southern France (still regretting not getting there). And if you know anything about that story, then it's a small hop to the Templars, the Cathars, the Rosicrucians, secret treasure and Masons. Underneath that is a more secret society that claims leadership from royal lineage, to Newton and Debussey, of all people.
Very hard not to think of Stuart McKenzie's suspicions of the "Pentavirate".
From there, the authors wander into sacrilegious territory, depending on your perspective. Entertaining start to finish, and gives you a history lesson by the by.
