I have read other books by Ravi Subramanian.

Personally I feel this is his best book yet.

If you remember some years ago their were whispers going around about how the wealth of some temple in Kerala has been disturbed and presence of an Italian Ship off the Kerala coast.

This book very deftly weaves those rumours into a story.

Many temples all across India have ancient wealth stored in vaults or on the deity itself.

Here the author weaves a story around an ancient wealth with modern context and all modern technology and gadgetry weaved in.

The safety of the wealth of a temple in Kerala is challenged in the courts of modern India by a custodian. The Court recognizes the need for safety and valuation of the wealth and appoints a team. This ruffles many feathers. And yet law is upheld.

The author now weaves a web of mystery, intrigue, politics, royalty and deceit around this premise.

There are murders. But the author manages to grip your attention and adds elements of surprise into the story.

Plus the author very precisely weaves the usage of modern technology by the Indian Police to solve crimes. Attention to detail is commendable.

A definite must read.
