Once a flourishing religion in Persia, Zoroastrianism, the world’s first monotheistic religion, is today largely unknown except to its followers, comprising mainly the minuscule Parsi community in Mumbai. Mumbai born and bred author Ashwin Sanghi, skilled in depicting ancient lore grippingly to modern readers, has cast this tiny community as protagonists in a sweeping novel, which imagines a dramatic secret from millennia ago held by a chosen Parsi family, being hunted down by modern-day villains from the US to India via the Middle East. In so doing he has not just penned a conspiracy thriller, but also introduced a little known but unique religion and community to his large audience.
