The Rozabal Line

A cardboard box is found on a shelf in a London library where a copy of the Mahabharata should have been. When the mystified librarian opens it, she screams and falls unconscious to the floor. An elite group that calls 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 must piece together these seemingly disjointed histories, while being pursued by members of a clandestine society, which would rather wipe out all of creation than allow an ancient secret to be disclosed. Featuring cryptic cults and criminal conspiracies and effortlessly stitching together lost legends from across time and space, master storyteller Ashwin Sanghi's first novel in the Bharat Collection is as unputdownable as it is unforgettable.
