The Emerald Buddha

Hansen #4

by Mike Dixon

If something seems too good to be true then it probably isn’t true. Erica should have remembered that when she agreed to take up an exciting job offer. Her talents were needed to track down a gang of thieves who were stealing ancient Buddhist treasures and selling them on the world market. Her knowledge of the Tibetan language would be put to use and she would be returning to a part of the world that fascinated her. The pay was fantastic and she might even get in a bit of rock climbing. It looked so straightforward at first. She met some amazing people and got to like them. Then she realised she was being drawn into a web of intrigue that threatened everyone around her. All her skills were needed to stay alive and protect her new friends.

About the author

I either started off on the wrong foot or I'm the legendary rolling stone. Normally, a degree in astrophysics does not lead to a stint in Parliament House, public relations, the diving industry and a backpacker resort - but that's what happened to me. I'm now retired in the sense that I no longer need to work for a living and that gives me time for travelling and writing.
My messy life has provided a lot of material for writing. But, even in this, I've not settled down to a single genre. I wobble between action mystery thrillers and historical novels then find myself writing books on travel and business. I live on the Gold Coast, Australia.

A new author for me, the title,and wanting to read about the places I have visited, to read his thoughts of them. He did a good job with the history, and the character of Erica. This was a definite interesting and well written story. The places, the intriguing of the Buddha was it magical, made it a definite book to read.

This was a CRAZY book! It took me until the final few chapters to even decide whose side I was on, let alone Erica, Tenzin, the Lees, Wang, and the Humphreys! This tale is chock-full of intrigue, sabotage, mystery, and adventure! Highly recommended!!!
