The Rozabal
Line
A tomb in Kashmir. A secret buried for 2,000 years. What if Jesus Christ survived the crucifixion — and came to India to live out his days?
A 2,000-Year-Old Secret Hidden in Kashmir
Deep in the old city of Srinagar lies a tomb called Rozabal — the Tomb of the Prophet. Local legend holds that a saint named Yuz Asaf rests here. But a growing, controversial theory suggests the occupant is someone far more familiar to the world: Jesus Christ, who — according to this reading of history — survived the crucifixion, travelled east along the Silk Road, and spent his final decades in Kashmir.
Into this explosive premise, Ashwin Sanghi weaves a breathtaking thriller spanning seventeen centuries and four continents. A Jesuit priest, a CIA operative, a terrorist cell, an investigative journalist and a mysterious brotherhood all converge on the same secret — and not everyone wants it revealed.
Part conspiracy thriller, part religious history, part globe-trotting adventure — The Rozabal Line is the novel that launched Sanghi's career and established him as India's answer to Dan Brown.
