What happens when you take Da Vinci Code and add Indian mythology to it? You get the Krishna Key!
Diving deep into our scriptures, the author manages to create a beautiful narration and if you haven't read Da Vinci Code, all the more better.
Prof. Saini is wrongly accused of murdering his childhood friend and historian, Anil Varshney. The flabbergasted Saini realizes that the murder is in line with the norms of a serial killer who is under the impression that he is the Kalki incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Helped by his doctoral student, Priya, he sets out on a voyage to decipher the meaning of the various symbols and writings that he encounters en-route. All this while being pursued by the talented IPS officer, Radhika Singh!
As trusts are betrayed and people get killed for what seems to be an ancient secret, Saini must use his analytical skills to save the lives of people he is associated with.
If you compare it to Dan Brown's book you will be saddened by the fact that it seems to be an Indian replica of his story but if you can let your senses appreciate the references to our own culture and civilization you will be dazed. It’s worth a try!
