The Monks' Secret - Softcover
“Dodo” Dillon, retired diplomat and lover of travel to far-away places undertakes to trace a missing American Buddhist monk in Sri Lanka. He follows the trail through the American Embassy in Colombo, a cheap boarding house, a Buddhist seminary, and a remote tea plantation. He is almost killed in a bomb explosion and a bloody clash with insurgents. He finally finds that the monk has starved himself to death in a search for nibbana.
