Raymond Khoury is a Lebanese screenwriter and novelist, best known as the author of the 2006 New York Times bestseller The Last Templar. He has authored five consecutive New York Times and #1 international bestsellers. His books have been translated into 38 languages, with over 10 million copies in print.

Raymond began his writing career in screenwriting, contributing to BAFTA award-winning BBC series such as Spooks (known as MI:5 in the US) and Waking The Dead. This background in screenwriting has given his novels a cinematic and visual quality, often described as intense and compelling storytelling.

Fellow bestselling author Steve Berry has praised Khoury, saying: "His expertly chosen verbs cause the scenes to leap from the page. You can literally feel the blows as they're landed; wince as the bullets find their marks. He has an intense brand of storytelling all his own."
