Praise for Martin Limn:
"It's great to have these two mavericks back. . . . Mr. Limn writes with . . . wonderful, bleak humor, edged in pain, about GI life."-The New York Times Book Review
"Limn's crisp, clear storytelling opens a door to another world and leaves one hoping the next installment won't be so long in arriving."-The Baltimore Sun
"Limn has the military lingo and ambience down to a T. Plot, pacing, and plausibility are just about perfect."-The Philadelphia Inquirer (editor's choice)
"As usual, Limn paints a picture of Korea in the mid-1970s that is so detailed and richly atmospheric that the reader's senses are flooded with the sounds, smells, and tastes of the place. Fans of the Sueo-Bascom series, who have been waiting eagerly for a new novel, can relax. It was well worth the wait."-Booklist (starred review)
The only female MP assigned to a base in the DMZ is missing. Has she been abducted, killed, or, possibly, gone AWOL? Eighth Army cops George Sueo and Ernie Bascom, sent to find her, discover a murder that has been concealed, rampant black marketeering and corruption, crooked officers, rioting Korean civilians, and the wandering ghost of a schoolgirl run down by a speeding army truck. It is up to them to right egregious wrongs while being pursued by criminals who want to kill them.
Martin Limn is the author of four earlier books in the Sueo-Bascom series. His debut, Jade Lady Burning, was a New York Times Notable Book.

"Limn's crisp, clear storytelling opens a door to another world and leaves one hoping the next installment won't be so long in arriving."-The Baltimore Sun
"As good as Limn's series debut, Jade Lady Burning."-The Plain Dealer
"Plot, pacing, and plausibility are just about perfect. . . . Limn has a humane outlook that nourishes the spirit."-The Philadelphia Inquirer (Editor's Choice)
The two GI cops Martin Limn first introduced in Jade Lady Burning are back with a vengeance in their latest adventures in 1970s Seoul and the sin cities surrounding the capital. While North Korea menaces and Vietnam burns, these two weave through back alleys and bordellos, trying to tip the scales of justice back in the right direction.
This time they are not only pursuing criminals-they're chasing themselves. Homicidal thieves have gotten hold of Sueo's badge and are using it to trick their victims just long enough to strike-with his gun. The army wants his equipment accounted for, the ID and weapon recovered. George and Ernie want to recover their reputation, such as it is . . . and stop the killings.
