New Delhi: Publishing house Pan Macmillan India on Wednesday announced the acquisition of "The Harveen Gill Mysteries", a trilogy rooted in ancient Indian history that blends conspiracy theories and ancient secrets, by the UK-based author Hamish Morjaria.
"Written in the tradition of Dan Brown and Ashwin Sanghi thrillers, these action-packed novels open lost chapters of India's ancient history through intricately plotted mysteries, unravelled by a kickass woman archaeologist. Readers, fasten your seatbelts!" said Teesta Guha Sarkar, editorial director at Pan Macmillan India, in a statement.
Told across three interweaving perspectives, moving back and forth in time and set in present-day Kerala -- once home to the ancient city of Muziris -- the trilogy is a story of team of Indian archaeologists, including the rebellious protagonist Harveen Gill, hunting down clues to locate the site of the ruins of the lost empire of Muziris.
"In another world, the soon-to-be-head of Santa Alleanza, a sacred alliance founded to safeguard the interests of the Vatican and the Papacy, is keeping close tabs on the Indian team's progress, for their next discovery could shake the very foundations of the Church and precipitate the end of the world.
