The First Rule of Ten: A Tenzing Norbu Mystery

The First Rule of Ten: A Tenzing Norbu Mystery

The First Rule of Ten is the first installment in a three-book mystery series centred around a Tibetan Buddhist monk turned private investigator, Tenzing Norbu ("Ten" for short). The first book is set in present day Los Angeles, and it follows Ten as he tries to solve the murder of his former landlord's ex-wife.

The First Rule of Ten is both a gripping mystery with dramatic plot twists as well as a reflective, character-driven story that is at times humorous, insightful and touching.
