There's virtually no Buddhism in the story. (By a bizarre coincidence the daughter of the Green Lama author ended up specializing in editing Tibetan Buddhist books.)<br /><br />Kendra Crossenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11253370916985435163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787364257168822822.post-5581568316792652142012-12-04T11:58:45.318-06:002012-12-04T11:58:45.318-06:00John, I actually liked the two titles and covers a...John, I actually liked the two titles and covers and wouldn't mind giving it a shot in spite of your fair warning. A Tibetan-American detective in one and another Tibetan character with supernatural powers? I have been missing something here. Many thanks, John, and for the links too.Prashant C.

The premise at least is intriguing-- and I love the little comment from the killer about his sobriquet!-- and the detective also seems like an interesting figure. I might even purchase the ebook.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01844617192737950378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787364257168822822.post-71790410490940443172012-12-03T10:08:20.219-06:002012-12-03T10:08:20.219-06:00Thanks for the warning, John!

I've actually been considering ordering <i>Invisible Men</i> and <i>Laughing Buddha</i>, after coming across them in Adey (where else?), but will bump them down the list now in favor of other, intriguing sounding mysteries.
