LONDON CALLING is the first in a series of "Dharma Noir" novels, a new genre that shines a wisdom light on the Dark Age we now inhabit.
JALU YOGI is a wandering Tibetan Buddhist master, amiable yet unpredictable with a taste for thriller-mysteries and bearing witness to the murkier side of modern life. Drawn to Europe, when he hears about civil uprisings and brutal government backlashes, master sleuth Jalu finds himself drifting through the debris of post-Financial Crisis Spain. Jalu narrates the story of Virginia Blake, an elderly Englishwoman, who spent most of her unremarkable life in Madrid but now finds herself and her bewildered companions embroiled in an international incident and a deadly game of cat and mouse through Andalucía.
This exhilarating and often moving tale is stylishly subtle, simple yet profound, and lovingly dedicated to filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar.
