That's the first rule of Ten. In The First Rule of Ten, Tenzing Norbu ('Ten' for short) - ex-Buddhist monk and soon-to-be-ex-cop - 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. 'Awareness and adventure go hand-in-hand in this wow of a whodunnit. It's got plenty of surprising plot twists, but even better, it's rich with insight into the complexity of human relationships and being alive in this modern-day world. What could be better?' Geneen Roth, author of Women, Food and God 'Talk about a 'perfect Ten!' Savvy, sharp, and spiritual, Tenzing Norbu is one of the most compelling detectives I've encountered on the page, And The First Rule of Ten is a great intorduction - a complicated, involving story that combines cults, crime, and Buddhist teachings to great effect.' Alison Gaylin, Edgar-nominated author of Hide Your Eyes 'Now this is a detective for the 21st century! Tenzing Norbu is wholly original and very, very real - a great addition to detective fiction. The First Rule of Ten has really got me hooked!' Julie Smith, author of the Skip Langdon series","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49677228572945,"sku":"CIN1401937764G","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49947866661137,"sku":"GOR005543617","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51024542204177,"sku":"NIN9781401937768","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51416912494865,"sku":"CIN1401937764VG","price":4.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1401937764.jpg?v=1750825738","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/first-rule-of-ten-book-gay-hendricks-9781401937768","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
