Synopsis

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.

From the bestselling author of ‘The Rozabal Line’ and ‘Chanakya’s Chant’ comes yet another exhaustively researched whopper of a plot, which provides an incredible alternative interpretation of the Vedic Age that will be relished by conspiracy buffs and thriller addicts alike.

Ashwin Sanghi and Amish Tripathi are considered to be the frontrunners in historical and mythological retelling. This book is part of that trend.

Very well researched book! Cleary a masterpiece! I have read all the 3 books written by the author and I have to say with each book I am deeply amazed with the extent of hardwork/research/technical brilliance that Mr Sanghi has put into while penning down this book. I would personally rate this book in one of the top ten books I have read in my lifetime! Great work Mr Sanghi & team! Completed reading The Krishna key in record time (my personal record - 1.5 days). Very very transformational indeed! The best of the 3 books written by Ashwin Sanghi! Learnt so many important things by reading this historical thriller... --Aravind Rajagopalan on Aug 28, 2012

Ashwin Sanghi is 'The Father of Modern Historical Fiction' If you've read any of Sanghi's other books, this novel will knock your socks off. If you haven't, then reading this will make you want to read more. I can actually smell thrill in those 470 pages. I read this latest work of Sanghi's just the way I ingested the last one, "Chanakya's Chant". With zest. Ashwin Sanghi is a gifted writer who knows how to salt the page with just enough suspense and a gentle touch of fact. He leads the reader on a journey that ends up leading you to a deeper faith and considering more of what Krishna is doing in our lives. I definitely recommend this book ... --Nitya Prakash on Aug 25, 2012
