Product Information

"Don't ignore intuitive tickles lest they reappear as sledgehammers." That's the first rule of Ten.

Tenzing Norbu ("Ten" for short)-ex-monk and soon-to-be ex-cop-is a protagonist unique to our times. In The First Rule of Ten, the first installment in a three-book detective series, we meet this spiritual warrior who is singularly equipped, if not occasionally ill-equipped, as he takes on his first case as a private investigator in Los Angeles.

Growing up in a Tibetan Monastery, Ten dreamed of becoming a modern-day Sherlock Holmes. So when he was sent to Los Angeles to teach meditation, he joined the LAPD instead. But as the Buddha says, change is inevitable; and ten years later, everything is about to change-big-time-for Ten. One resignation from the police force, two bullet-wounds, three suspicious deaths, and a beautiful woman later, he quickly learns that whenever he breaks his first rule, mayhem follows.

Set in the modern-day streets and canyons of Los Angeles, The First Rule of Ten is at turns humorous, insightful, and riveting-a gripping mystery as well as a reflective, character-driven story with intriguing life-lessons for us all.

The first book in a fantastic new and original mystery series about Tenzing Norbu, from authors Gay Hendricks and Tinker Lindsay.

Tenzing is the product of an American mother on a permanent mission to find herself, and an Indian father, abbot in a Buddhist monastery who found a midlife crisis. Trained as a Buddhist monk through childhood Ten made the natural progression to the LAPD; but now it's time to let go, taking a bullet is often a life changing experience, and Ten wants to get away from administration and politics, and get back to helping folks and solving crimes...

This is a cleverly written book with a bit of something for everyone; a cat named Tank, good friends, a beautiful woman, a fast car, a little enlightenment and a multi layered mystery involving insurance, a cult, a pig farm and almonds.

The characters are all believable and diverse, and very easy to form an emotional attachment to. The plot is multi-layered, and although not a complete surprise , is engrossing and turns the story into a real page turner.

It's well paced, delivering just the right balance of high powered action and relaxed emotional connection.

Basically, I loved this, and can't wait to read more in the series.
