Mindfulness and MurderWhen a homeless boy living at the youth shelter run by a Buddhist monastery turns up dead, the abbot recruits Father Ananda, a monk and former police officer, to find out why. He discovers that all is not well at this urban monastery in the heart of Bangkok. Together with his dogged assistant, an orphaned boy named Jak, Father Ananda uncovers a startling series of clues that eventually expose the motivation behind the crime and lead him to the murderers. Mindfulness and Murder is the first in the Father Ananda mystery series. Nick Wilgus is a writer and senior subeditor for the "Outlook" section of the Bangkok Post. |
