The Rozabal Line by Ashwin Sanghi

On a lazy day in London, a cardboard box is found on a shelf of the SOAS 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, the army of thirteen, has scattered around the globe.The fate of its members curiously resembles that of Christ and his Apostles in the first century AD. Their leader is not evena BLIP on a radar of intelligence agencies, yet their agenda is Armageddon.

Somewhere in the labyrinthine recesses of the Vatican, a beautiful assassin swears she will eliminate all who do not believe in her twisted credo. She loves to kill-again and again. A Hindu Astrologer spots an approaching conjunction of the stars and nods to himself in grim agreement. It will happen on the very date he had seen as the end of the world. And its not far off.

In Tibet, a group of Buddhist monk search for a reincarnation, much in the way their ancestors searched Judea for the son of God.
In strife-torn Kashmir, a tomb called Rozabal hold the key to the riddle that arises in Jerusalem and gets answered at Vaishno Devi.

An American priest, Father Vincent Sinclair, has disturbing visions of himself and of people familiar to him, except that they seem located in other worlds:other ages.Induced into past -life regression, he goes to India to piece together the violent images burnt onto his mind.

Shadowing his every move is the Crux Decussata Permuta, a clandestine society which would rather wipe out creation than allow an ancient secret to be disclosed.

In The Rozabal Line, a thriller swirling between continents and centuries, Ashwin Sanghi traces a pattern that curls backward to the violent birth of religion itself.

Loved this video - simple but haunting. The soundtrack is mysterious and hypnotic. Gotta read this book, problem is that it's not available in Hong Kong. Any idea which online site has it?

I saw this video, bought Rozabal and was blown away. A Catholic priest has visions of his past lives including one as Simon the cross-bearer, who sees Jesus survive and travel to Kashmir. In 2012, a Lashkar group fight a Kashmiri Jihad. They resemble Christ and 12 apostles. Christ's bloodline? A magnificent tale—complex due to lots of clues tucked away. Its not Da Vinci—the historical, theological and spiritual connections that Sanghi draws make TRL a masterpiece entirely in its own genre.
