Book excerpt: Tom Borton was a New Yorker, aged 38, and an ex-FBI agent. He came to London for a holiday plus business venture. Checked into the Hilton Hotel, and whilst waiting for the room service waiter to bring coffee and sandwiches, he glanced at the daily newspaper, and on the front of it, he saw a photograph of Maria Fantini, the Opera singer, who was giving a performance of La Boheme' the following evening at Covenant Garden. Tom noticed the necklace of sapphires and diamonds she was wearing, and decided to try and steal it, in a daring gesture. He visited a nightclub and met a beautiful socialite, who was the cause of his undoing, in Paris, and on to the Cote d'Azure, exciting events developed, with the entrance of a rich French widow.

He hasn't even finished his morning coffee and donut when shots ring out in the hallway outside RGI and a victim falls through Ryan's glass office door, dead.After calling in the incident to Ryan's good buddy, Dade County Sheriff's Department Sergeant Gomez, Ryan decides to follow a clue he finds on the dead man's body. It leads him to a cache of stolen diamonds worth $100 million! It turns out the deceased was undercover DEA Agent Steve Riggens, and soon the DEA enlists Sgt. Gomez and the superior skills of ex-U.S. Army Special Forces Intelligence officer Ryan Gavin to organize a tricky, high-risk sting operation to ensnare both the local gang responsible for Riggens' death but also a wide-ranging money-laundering drug cartel... and all before those diamonds can get anybody else killed!

Book excerpt: An investigative reporter explores an infamous case where an obsessive and unorthodox search for enlightenment went terribly wrong. When thirty-eight-year-old Ian Thorson died from dehydration and dysentery on a remote Arizona mountaintop in 2012, The New York Times reported the story under the headline: "Mysterious Buddhist Retreat in the Desert Ends in a Grisly Death." Scott Carney, a journalist and anthropologist who lived in India for six years, was struck by how Thorson’s death echoed other incidents that reflected the little-talked-about connection between intensive meditation and mental instability. Using these tragedies as a springboard, Carney explores how those who go to extremes to achieve divine revelations—and undertake it in illusory ways—can tangle with madness. He also delves into the unorthodox interpretation of Tibetan Buddhism that attracted Thorson and the bizarre teachings of its chief evangelists: Thorson’s wife, Lama Christie McNally, and her previous husband, Geshe Michael Roach, the supreme spiritual leader of Diamond Mountain University, where Thorson died. Carney unravels how the cultlike practices of McNally and Roach and the questionable circumstances surrounding Thorson’s death illuminate a uniquely American tendency to mix and match eastern religious traditions like LEGO pieces in a quest to reach an enlightened, perfected state, no matter the cost. Aided by Thorson’s private papers, along with cutting-edge neurological research that reveals the profound impact of intensive meditation on the brain and stories of miracles and black magic, sexualized rituals, and tantric rites from former Diamond Mountain acolytes, A Death on Diamond Mountain is a gripping work of investigative journalism that reveals how the path to enlightenment can be riddled with danger.
