The Smiling Buddha

What starts out as a cleverly staged robbery at the Likud Bank in Kuala Lumpur explodes into a riveting mystery filled with deceit, seduction and terrorism. Ari Gershon a retired banker and former Israeli Mossad agent is called upon to investigate the robbery. Within weeks of the bank robbery, two seemingly unrelated murders occur—the first in Singapore and the other in New York's Central Park. Meanwhile, the ultra-wealthy Malaysian, Dr. Amad Garpa, and his daughter, Bahna Farad, embark on a quixotic peace mission. Through Ari and two dogged New York detectives, the threads winding their way through these widely disparate events begin to entwine, vaulting the reader through a fiery world of arms dealers and terrorists on an international stage which stretches from Malaysia and India to the United Nations and the streets of New York City.
With larger-than-life sexual and immoral characters that the reader both hates and envies, The Smiling Buddha, comes alive and raises the reader’s pulse. Rich with twists and turns, author, Alex Heiser, has fashioned a suspense thriller that will feed the tastes of Robert Ludlum and Sydney Sheldon fans.
