THE AIKIDO SENSEI is the 4th book in the Aikido Mysteries series. We find Parker, our sometimes private eye and full time Aikido Sensei trying to help his old teacher, Hunter James, build a barn up at his farm in Maine. Hunter reveals why he gave up Aikido and tells Parker about the time he spent in Japan before he received his black belt promotion from the founder of aikido, O'Sensei. Parker is still the man's loyal student and they remain very close, spending days in the field hunting birds and nights around the table drinking beer. So why was he murdered? Parker has to return to Maine and tear the town apart until he finds the killer. It takes help from his friends and students, it requires a crash course in computer pirating and hacking skills, it takes guts, courage and sheer will plus the protection of Nico, his constant companion, a furry ball of love, claw and fangs. Nico is watching out for Parker and in the North woods it turns out to be what he needs. The town seems crazy to Parker. Although he grew up in a small town out in Wyoming he knows nothing about the way that the taciturn Yankees live their lives and the only way through the maze is by asking questions. "Doing it the old fashioned way," he says. Her knocks on doors until one knocks back - and then it's game-on. Parker at his best!

Daniel Linden has been involved with martial arts for over 50 years. He is a 6th degree black belt in Aikido (Aikikai) and a teacher in his own school. His books On Mastering Aikido and Journey, On Mastering Ukemi are classics in the field and available from all the usual suspects. The Aikido Mystery Series with Sensei Parker is Mr. Linden's attempt to generate interest in Aikido, as the art has lost a great deal of popularity over the last couple of decades and he sees the mystery series as a chance to bring it back before the public's eye. They are also a hell of a lot of fun to write, he says. His literary novel, The Content of Character has been praised as a masterwork and depicts the life of a man suffering from Asperger's syndrome as he tries to deal with the American dream and his own struggles with normalcy, racism, and brotherly love. When not involved in the study and teaching of Aikido Mr. Linden builds guitars and mandolins in his workshops in Florida and Maine, where he has a small farm. He travels with his wife Laurie, and dog, Gibson. Daniel Linden served the public in municipal security and has been on assignment with the F.B.I., FDLE, multiple police agencies, and has been billeted with the United States Secret Service under three presidents. He is retired now and writes full time when not sanding maple and spruce in his workshop. All books are available (or will be soon) in Audio format, e-book format, and in print.
