The First Rule of Ten

The detective's moral dilemmas are deeply rooted in spiritual teachings. I'm curious how much of that was based on the author's own understanding of Buddhism.

The story challenged me to think about what truly defines right and wrong. Did the philosophical insights enhance the suspense or slow down the pace for others?

It’s such a compelling concept—I'm wondering whether it was inspired by a particular Buddhist teaching or came out of the author's personal reflections.
