The Inner Line is the third installment of a trilogy that follows the adventures of Tim Best, former Vietnam War Vet and intelligence operative. The first book (Never Recovered) detailed his experiences to locate missing WWII gold in the Himalayas, and the second one involved his investigations into the murder and intrigues surrounding Buddhist icon smuggling and the kidnapping of reincarnated monks. This last book involves Tim Best and his partner attempting to block a dirty bomb terrorist action in Lhasa, Tibet.
All three books were inspired by true events.
