Book Synopsis
This is a true story of the intrigues behind the life of one of the most important figures in Tibetan Buddhism

Trade Review
'Brown manages to make his book both informative and fast paced ... A fascinating read' Observer 'An extraordinary story ... his narrative is crisp, dramatic and scrupulously even-handed ... succeeds both as a riveting piece of detective work and as something far more resonant: an account of how Brown's spiritual yearnings underwent a hefty buffeting yet continue to nourish him and drive him on' Sunday Telegraph 'An astonishing saga of unholy intrigue and arcane back-stabbing ... Brown affords us regular glimpses of Buddhism's deeper, and abiding, humanism' Independent 'What he uncovers is like a passage from our own medieval history - a bitter war of succession complete with scheming regent, allegations of murder and a young pretender' Daily Mail
