Tibetan monk, turned LA cop, turned PI — it’s nothing less than one
would expect from a successful relationship expert’s first mystery
novel — and it’s a perfect choice to launch Hay House’s new mystery
imprint, Visions. Ten is the book’s protagonist (the rules are
his). He has a cat named Tank, an ex-girlfriend he calls
"she-who-hates-cats", and he often chooses a cold beer instead of
meditation to reduce stress. His spiritual insights run as a
sub-theme in his mind, as he chases bad guys and looks for clues.
He models himself after Sherlock Holmes (his childhood idol) and
has a Dr. Watson style computer-jockey sidekick named Mike. The
action begins when a casual visitor to Ten’s residence turns up
dead. Just days after leaving the LAPD, Ten becomes immersed in
unraveling the crime and adjusting to being an outsider to his
former law-enforcement family. Subtly laced with drugs, sex, and
ex-rockers, in addition to a compassionately rendered supporting
cast, this one is a page turner with a broad potential audience.
With more books already in the pipeline for the Tenzing Norbu
series, customers will want to get to know this new-millennium
Magnum/Rockford-style gumshoe as soon as possible. Tell them not to
wait for the movie; this is a perfect post-holiday indulgence.
