A Low Road to Enlightenment

Jake Loner is an out to pasture, retired veteran of the 1970’s 80’s drug wars, hiding out, nursing his wounds, but thirty years after the fact, memories of an early assignment still haunt him. Sent to support the last vestiges of a failed CIA mission in Tibet, Jake is ensnared in a centuries old plot to protect ancient Tibetan treasures from enemies of the past, present and future. High in the Himalayas he must confront demons, real and imagined, to preserve these treasures and insure survival of his team and his lover. Betrayal and deceit dog Jake's steps from a Caribbean purgatory to the strange blood rites of Kathmandu. Ultimately Jake survives but his demons are not confined to the past and he must come to terms with them even as they haunt him now.
