Death of a Guru

    An edgy, suspenseful thriller. An unforgettable story. 

**                                 DEATH OF A GURU**
   It's 1992, and not all is paradise on the white sand beaches of Thailand.
   Magnus Larsen is a young American yearning for home when a strange series of events brings him face to face with a charismatic guru. A dynamic friendship ensues, and Magnus is drawn into an intrigue that exhilarates and terrifies him.
   Devon Clarke, a man with a tortured past, has reinvented himself as the guru Dadaram, and his plan for his own spiritual redemption is brutal. He uses Anna, a beautiful and obedient devotee, to ensnare Magnus in a scheme that tears his life apart, and leads him on an obsessive, murderous pursuit throughout Southeast Asia.
   A tale of murder and revenge wrapped in layers of mystery, it's also an epic odyssey of the spirit that brings Magnus to a shocking conclusion.

Death of a Guru is the finalist in the thriller category of Pacific Book Awards. Awarded 2nd place (announced May 11, 2015).

DEATH OF A GURU is one that you simply can't miss."
Michael Gardiner, Penn Book Review

"A rich, entertaining read ... a book that readers will not easily put down."
Lisa Brown-Gilbert, Hollywood Book Reviews
(from the 5-Star Review)

"...a startlingly well-written, fast-paced and exciting novel with a heightened emotional tension and a poetic, noir-like prose that lends the book an ambitious, propulsive pace -- not to mention a plot twist that lingers even after the final denouement has played out."
