A cardboard box is found on a shelf of a London library where a copy of Mahabharata should have been. When the mystified librarian opens it, she screams before she falls unconscious to the floor. An elite group calling itself the Lashkar-e-Talatashar has scattered around the globe, the fate of its members curiously resembling that of Christ and his Apostles. Their agenda is Armageddon. In the labyrinthine recesses of the Vatican, a beautiful assassin swears she will eliminate all who do not believe in her twisted credo. In Tibet, Buddhist monks search for a reincarnation while in strife-torn Kashmir, a tomb called Rozabal holds the key to an ancient riddle. Father Vincent Sinclair, has disturbing visions of himself and of people familiar to him, except that they seem located in other ages. He goes to India to piece together the violent images burnt onto his mind. Shadowing his every move is a clandestine society, which would rather wipe out creation than allow an ancient secret to be disclosed.
Review
"In The Rozabal Line, Ashwin Sanghi does a Dan Brown by mixing all the ingredients of a thriller - crusades, action, adventure, suspense - and pulling it off, with dexterity and ease." -The Asian Age
"Ashwin Sanghi takes us into a world of intrigue and conspiracy, almost having us believe that all religions in the world are linked." -Mid-Day
"Sanghi's flair for religion, history and politics is clearly visible as he takes the reader across the world spanning different decades. A mixture of comparative religion, dangerous secrets, thrilling plot makes for an esoteric read." -The Statesman
"Sanghi has got the sure-fire formula right." -Times of India
"A provocative, clever and radiant line of theology Sanghi suggests is that the cult of Mary Magdalene has its true inspiration in the trinity of the Indian sacred feminine thereby outthinking and out-conspiring Dan Brown." -The Hindu
"Sanghi's book is a pot-boiler despite somewhat incredible claims... A thrilling read for all fans of the genre!" -Hindustan Times
