Publisher's Synopsis
When former Buddhist monk and private investigator Ten Norbu follows a trail of murder, drugs, and organ trafficking, he finds a familiar foe awaiting him
Keep current with the truth: we're only as weak as our secrets-especially the ones we keep from ourselves. -The Third Rule of Ten
As the go-to private detective for a bevy of high-profile clients, our beloved ex-Buddhist monk, ex-LAPD officer Tenzing "Ten" Norbu has finally found his stride. With his beautiful pathologist girlfriend, a healthy bank account, and a steady stream of clients-courtesy of middle-aged movie star Mac Gannon and rising political star Bets McMurtry-Ten's life is bursting with activity. But it's not all joy and happiness. The death of his father and a growing abundance of secrets-both personal and professional-leave Ten feeling an unexpected depth of sorrow and confusion.
Even with the emotional turmoil, nothing can stop Ten from taking the case when McMurtry's housekeeper goes missing. The investigation leads him down a dangerous path littered with bodies, untraceable prescription drugs, and human organ trafficking. But nothing is as shocking as the realization that the mastermind behind it all is in fact a criminal who has slipped through Ten's fingers once before.
The Third Rule of Ten will have you on the edge of your seat, as you learn, along with Ten, that there is a fine line between healthy privacy and unhealthy secrecy. Knowing the difference may just determine whether Ten will stop his archenemy or lose himself.
