"An excellent blend mixing the ever-spiraling mythology of Tibet with the modern horror story. Douglas Wynne writes with a hard boiled elegance, effortlessly blending complex Tibetan philosophy with tough guy banter of a Raymond Chandler novel."—Rex Hurst, What Hell May Come
Miles Landry is trying to put violence behind him when he takes up work as a private detective focused on humdrum adultery cases. But when a Tibetan monk hires him to find a missing person, things get weird fast.
Charged with tracking down the reincarnation of a man possessed by a demonic guardian from the Tibetan Book of the Dead, Miles is plunged into a world of fortune-tellers, gangsters, and tantric rituals. The year is 1991 and a series of grisly murders has rocked New York City in the run up to a visit from the Dalai Lama.
The police attribute the killings to Chinatown gang warfare. Miles–skeptical of the supernatural–is inclined to agree. But what if the monster he's hunting is more than a myth?
