My own favourite bit of Templar/Masonic arcana is the book _*The Second Messiah: Templars, the Turin Shroud and the Great Secret of Freemasonry_, by Knight and Lomas. 

Their point of departure from accepted reality is the idea that the face on the Shroud of Turin is that of the tortured Jacques de Molay.

Indeed they almost succeed in making it believable.
