Summary

Downward facing death... Blessed with uncanny deductive skills and a blasé disregard for authority, Matt Bolster was a rising LAPD homicide detective by the age of 35. He was also overworked, near-alcoholic, and miserable. Then, to impress a girl, he agreed to try yoga. And with a single savasana, everything changed. Now Bolster has traded his badge for a three-day stubble and the life of an itinerant yoga teacher, dabbling in PI work to make rent. He mostly handles missing-persons cases, credit-card fraud - nothing too messy. But that's before Ajoy Chaterjee, the wealthy mogul behind one of the world's leading yoga-business empires, is found murdered inside his West L.A. flagship studio. Bolster knows the LAPD doesn't have a prayer of cracking the secrets of the yoga world. But he does, and he really needs the dough. Of course, sticking to the principles of the yamas and niyamas during a murder investigation isn't easy, especially with so many alluring women among the suspects. But personal ethics will be the least of Bolster's problems if the killer finds him first.

Yoga, nihilism & the essence of the universe!

Writing a 'murder mystery', taking in the 'real' sights of Hollywood, plumbing some of the depths of the oldest extant perfected method of self discipline & personal enhancement, observing the vagaries of human nature - Neal Pollack manages to do all this & more. A most entertaining & illuminating narrative (narration was good but not excellent) & am looking forward to the next installment.
