SOLVED. detective story set in Indonesia; hero is either American, English, or Canadian [s]

[Sarah]

This book was mentioned by Joseph Goldstein in his CD-series on mindfulness, because the hero is either Buddhist or influenced by Buddhism. I think there is a whole series of books in which he is the protagonist. I believe that the story is a rather dark murder mystery.

The First Rule of Ten by Gay Hendricks is set in Los Angeles, but the hero is an ex-Buddhist Monk, ex- cop turned private investigator. First in series.

Sounds like a book that I'd like to read, but not the one I'm looking for.

I can't figure out how to refile this under "Solved"

[Kris]

I think you click an "Edit" link to the right of your topic. A drop-down menu opens and you select a Solved folder (e.g., Adult Fiction-SOLVED).
