Plot::
Five thousand years ago, there came to earth a magical being
called Krishna, who brought about innumerable
miracles for the good of mankind. Humanity despaired of its fate if the Blue
God were to die but was reassured that he would return in a fresh avatar when
needed in the eventual Dark Age—the Kaliyug.
In modern times, a poor little rich boy grows up believing that he is that final avatar.
Only, he is a serial killer.
In this heart-stopping tale, the arrival of a murderer who executes his gruesome and brilliantly thought-out schemes in the name of God is the first clue to a sinister conspiracy to expose an ancient secret—Krishna’s priceless legacy to mankind.
Historian Ravi Mohan Saini must breathlessly dash from the submerged remains of Dwarka and the mysterious lingam of Somnath to the icy heights of Mount Kailash, in a quest to discover the cryptic location of Krishna’s most prized possession. From the sand-washed ruins of Kalibangan to a Vrindavan temple destroyed by Aurangzeb, Saini must also delve into antiquity to prevent a gross miscarriage of justice. Ashwin Sanghi brings you yet another exhaustively researched whopper of a plot, while providing an incredible alternative interpretation of the Vedic Age that will be relished by conspiracy buffs and thriller-addicts alike.

Review::
The first story is the familiar
story of Krishna as narrated by Krishna
Himself. This story precedes the present day story in every chapter. The second
story is set in the present day and revolves around a thrilling mystery
unraveled by professor and historian Ravi Mohan Saini around the ‘Krishna Key’.
History Professor Ravi Mohan Saini is soon arrested for the
murder of his friend Varshney. Shocked & confused, he finds the escape
route via his doctoral student Priya & her father who’s a lawyer. He soon
realises the 4 seals that exist must hold more value than just being historic
in nature. Thus the quest begins with Saini & Priya trying to locate the
rest of the seals & perhaps save the lives of those who hold it.
Even though I don’t really love to read about vedic age and
religion this book was interesting and I liked it. Not everyone usually seems
to love such a book, but the work of the author and his thinking is to be
appreciated here. I’ll give the book a rating of 3.5/5.
I’m pretty sure many people will like it, so I would totally
suggest this book to people who love to read about vedic age and all.
