A Novel of the line… Paul Smith

THE FIRST secret is a unique that operates on a couple of degrees: it's a seek, a monitoring down of a assassin and a secret as to who did it. it's a seek via many lands, humans and occasions. Take an odd trip via Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Burma, Nepal, Tibet, Kashmir, India and San Francisco. it's a seek (through desires and visions) into the sub-conscious brain of the non-public detective Dave Jones, a cynical westerner, who seeks yet is blind to the real nature of his trip. it's also the tale of the opposite major personality, Johnny Wilkulda an Australian aboriginal tracker, looking a better fact for himself and all others. Meet Robinson, the ‘LSD Professor’, who has taken the line of mind-expanding medicinal drugs, the ‘fast track’. Meet Evie Rush, too attractive to be a assassin? Meet Collins the homicidal murder detective; meet Arla, the gorgeous jazz singer in enormous difficulty in Bangkok; meet Margaret, haunted, searching for love in a rubber plantation in Malaysia; meet the Cambodian Prince in love with tune, attempting to cease conflict getting into his state; meet Meera the Indian woman, caught in a whorehouse in Laos and seeing visions of a brand new Messiah. Meet them and plenty of different unusual and great, bizarre characters within the FIRST secret, a brand new form of novel. huge structure variation 7” x 10” 589 pages
