Fiction. Mystery. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:A Tibetan monastic-turned-LAPD cop-turned private investigator lands his first big case in this riveting opening installment in a Buddhism-inspired mystery series

??Don't ignore intuitive tickles lest they reappear as sledgehammers.? ??The first rule of Ten

 
Tenzing Norbu (??Ten? for short), an ex-monk and soon-to-be ex-cop, is a protagonist unique to our times. In The First Rule of Ten, 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 lif

Tenzing Norbu has been a Tibetan monk and an LAPD detective but is now a detective in the private sector considering becoming a licensed PI. He is still fast friends with his LAPD partner/wife/baby twins, but few others. Then a former songstress shows at is door by mistake but is murdered shortly after. Thus, he starts on an investigation with his nerd friend (computer whiz) and finds a whole lot of trouble and dishonesty as well as a new friend (septuagenarian).
The characters are all realistic and engaging, the investigation riveting, the world building very effective, and the plot twists somewhat aggravating. In other words, I loved it.
Jeremy Arthur is an amazing voice actor who really rocks this role as narrator! ( )

The First Rule of Ten is a uniquely entertaining and enlightening blend of crime fiction and Buddhist awareness. What a pleasure to read a mystery book full of insight, intrigue, and light. The protagonist, Tenzing Norbu, epitomizes the perfect balance between being spiritual and being human. Told with a quick pace, and interesting characters like Tank the feline sidekick, The First Rule of Ten is an enchanting story with rich acumen and true originality. ( )

Really enjoyed it and look forward to the next installment. Great juxtaposition of real life and relationships with a mindfulness practice (right up my alley!). ( )

Excellent combination of a PI with Buddhist monk past. Good story line and leaves you wanting to read more. ( )
