Nova Scotia's Treasure Island --What Secret Does it Conceal?
The Lost Treasure of the Knights Templar: Solving the Oak Island Mystery by Steven Sora

Steven Sora's book covers a lot of ground, taking the reader on a journey from Oak Island's "Money Pit" to the places where the medieval Knights Templar controlled the secret of the holy grail to France's Rennes-le-Chateau and on across the English Channel to recount the bold deeds of the Scottish Sinclair (St. Clair) family. Borrowing heavily from the all-time favorite alternate history classic, Holy Blood, Holy Grail, the author postulates that it is the fabulous Templar treasure, which was never found after the Templars were rounded up and many executed in 1307, that lies beneath the booby-trapped pit on Oak Island.
