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.

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! ( )
