O autorovi

Raymond Khoury

Z Libanonu utekl před občanskou válkou, absolvoval střední školu ve Spojených státech, po návratu do Bejrútu vystudoval architekturu, ale znovu prchal před obnovenou válkou. Usadil se v Londýně a začal pracovat jako architekt. Chtěl si koupit dům na Bahamách, a právě tehdy se setkal s člověkem, který se živí tím, že pomáhá spisovatelům psát scénáře na základě jejich vlastních knih. Tak nějak se pokusil něco napsat a Raymond Khoury objevil svůj literární talent. --- Poslední templář, kniha, jejíž české vydání se stalo nejprodávanější knihou roku 2006.
