A murder mystery, suspense story, plus lots of comments on the interplay between teacher and student as the student transitions into a teacher in his own right (kind of like what would have happened to the karate kid if he had become middle aged and become a senior student of his technique). The mystery is interesting at first but conclusion becomes predictable as the story progresses....however what I found interesting was the way the storyteller gains insight of his actions and the ability to see actions in others even before they happen. You do not have to be a martial arts loyalist to like this novel. As an audiobook the narration was top notch. Even though the book is a part of a series you are not left in the dark.
