This compellation is a tribute to the power and interesting personality of one the of the series' main recurring characters, Warren Biggs. A retired FBI agent, Warren is irascible, wickedly funny, a ladies' man, a raconteur, blessed with sapphire blue elk-shooter's eyes and a profound sense of the profane he takes over every scene he is in. And of course he is 87 years old so no one would dare try and teach him any new tricks. Daniel Linden based this one-of-a-kind character on a personal friend, who will remain nameless, but it is the author's most heartfelt hope that someday his friend see this book and understands from its simple existence how profoundly he has influenced his life. This compellation includes Aikido Au Revoir, Biggs first introduction to the series and a cameo role. Aikido Carumba in which he provides Parker with his first real shot at solving the main mystery. The Aikido Katana is a novel that shows what a bunch of old time, retired agents can do when asked. And The Aikido Widow, a novel in which Biggs is never actually a part of a scene, but his presence, like Don Corleone in The Godfather, is nearly always present. Biggs has a hell of a future. Not to give too much away, but he just might be opening his own branch of Black Diamond Detective Agency in Missoula along with a certain pretty young detective he meets in Aikido Anaconda the next Aikido Mystery.

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.
